Triumvirate - Modern Triumvirates
The title was revived a few times for (short-lived) three-headed political 'magistratures' in post-feudal times.
Ironically, when the French revolutionaries turned to several Roman Magistrature names for their new institutions, the three-headed collective Head of State was bizarly named Consulat, a term in use for two-headed magistratures since Antiquity; furthermore it included a "First Consul" who was not an equal, but the de facto solo head of state and government- a tyrannical position Napoleon Bonaparte chose to convert openly into the First Empire.
Triumvirate - Modern Italy
- in the Roman Republic (1798-1850), the title of two sets of three joint chiefs of state in the year 1849:

Triumvirate - Modern Greece
In the Kingdom of Greece, after the downfall of the country's first king, the Bavarian Othon on 23 October 1862, and Dimitrios Voulgaris' unsuccessful term (23 October 1862 - 30 January 1863) as president of the Provisional Government, a Triumvirate (30 January-30 October 1863) was established consisting of the same Dimitrios Voulgaris, the renowned Admiral Konstantinos Kanaris and Benizelos Rouphos, which acted as a Regency until the arrival of the new king, Georgios I.
Another Triumvirate was set up during the First World War, to head the "Provisional Government of National Defence" in Thessaloniki, in September 1916. It consisted of Eleftherios Venizelos, General Panagiotis Danglis and Admiral Pavlos Koundouriotis.
