Auctoritas (ius)
Auctoritas est ius potestatis adhibendae, quod a civitate sanciri atque a iudicibus, administratoribus creatis, vel ecclesiasticis vel clericis dei aliarumve deitatum legatis creatis adhiberi potest. Auctoritas hoc sensu ius actionis perficiendae vel mandati efficiendi etiam significare potest. In disputationibus de rationibus rei publicae gerendae atque administrandae, vocabulum auctoritas meram potestatem saepe significat.
