venerable – adj - Commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, as because of high office or noble character.
I can't believe this hasn't already been used. Anyway, what brought it to mind is I was doing some reading on Augustus Caesar (63 BC - AD 14), which made me think of the title he was awarded by the Senate: Augustus, i.e., 'venerable one.'
