Okay kiddo, so imagine you and your friends are playing a game. You have a leader who tells everyone what to do, kind of like a king or a president, right?
Well, a long time ago in ancient Rome, they had leaders called consuls. The consuls were kind of like the president but there were two of them at a time and they shared the job.
Fast forward to a time when Rome was split into two parts, the Roman Empire and the Gallic Empire. The Gallic Empire was ruled by people called the Gallic Emperors.
In the Gallic Empire, they still had consuls, but they were chosen by the Gallic Emperor instead of the Roman Emperor. The consul's job was to help the Gallic Emperor make decisions and run the kingdom.
So basically, the consul in the Gallic Empire was like a helper to the king, just like your friends are helpers to your leader in your game. And they were chosen by the Gallic Emperor instead of the Roman Emperor. Does that make sense, kiddo?
