quaestor
(Latin: "investigator") In ancient Rome, an officer appointed by a consul as his deputy. Around 450 BC they became magistrates, a class of high-level government administrators that included the consuls, praetors, and prefects. Quaestors, the lowest level of this class, were elected by the people. After 421 there were four quaestors, two public treasurers and two who assisted the consuls, accompanying them to war and taking charge of supplies and payment of troops. From Augustus' time there were 20 quaestors, many of whom acted as finance officers and assistants to provincial governors.
