aedile


Значение термина aedile в knolik


aedile - Aedile (Lat. aedes, a building)
aedile - Roman magistrate. In republican times the chief duties of the aediles were the superintendence of public buildings and of the water supply, direction of the police, provisioning of the city, management of public games, and care of the public archives. Instituted 494 b.c., they were at first two in number, both plebeians; but in 366 two more, called curule, from being privileged to sit in a curule chair (q.v.), were appointed. The curule aediles were at first patricians. Under the Empire their functions were greatly curtailed, and the office itself disappeared before the time of Constantine. Pron. e'dil.
