AI overview
A triumvirate is a government ruled by three leaders, called triumvirs, who are supposed to share power equally—though in practice one leader often becomes more dominant than the others. This type of arrangement can be either officially established or informal, and it matters because it represents a specific way of dividing political authority among a small group of rulers.
