Roman consuls?

I think before Caesar having to consuls was a regular practice specifically to act as a check. Humanity has experiments with a myriad of systems to balance power.

And by Caesar, I mean Julius Caesar, commonly referred to as the dictator and not Augustus or the others later known by that name.

When a civil war breaks out every ship has to decide which side it's on. Eg in the Civil War pretty much all ships went to the Union. In the Spanish Civil War the commanders mostly declared for the Nationalists, but a bunch of crews mutinied so they stayed Republican.

The Iranian president and the Iranian Supreme Leader are a dual executive, often at odds with each other. But power there is obviously not shared equally.

Do things like the Tetrarchy of Rome count? How about the Samaritan / Judean split? Failing empires, where local lords rule increasingly on their own behalf, but retain the trappings of their prior empire?

Not sure if this counts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloistered_rule … it seems like it was the cloistered emperor who had the actual power, whereas the de jure emperor only fulfilled ceremonial roles. But the de jure emperor might become stronger over time.
