Do you mean something like:

1. In latin (for instance, when the Pope speaks or writes in Latin): Nos for Ego
2. In Spanish (mainly in ancient times): Nos, el Rey (We, the King) for Yo, el Rey (I, the King)?

If yes, could the noun dealt with in www.oham.net/out/S-t/S-t1163.html be a clear case of this majestatic plural?

I would like to know if there is proof for the plural of majesty in ancient cultures writings. Thanks
