Nominal and Dynastic Titles in Imvrassia

Through the long-standing influence of Greek and Roman history on the various titles used by Imvrassia, both in administration and in the offices and titles of its citizens and members of the reigning house, yet another category of nominal and dynastic titles has been created . The nominal titles have to do with the creation of kingdoms, the names of which come from Greek and Roman history and refer to areas that are considered possessions of the reigning house. The dynastic titles are linked to the areas that cover the kingdoms and are attributed to members of the reigning house, wanting in this way the Crown to highlight the importance of them.

The said kingdoms took their names from the ancient tribe of the Ionians and a division of them the Argadeis and they took under their nominal authority certain provinces, without however had theirs institutions, special privileges, or autonomy.
