office of quaestor was the lowest ol 
those which were sought by the first 
men and nobles, and could regularly be 
held by no one before the twenty-fifth 
year of his age. In every war also 
there was a qusstor, to pay the soldiers, 
take possession of that part ot the 
booty which belonged to the state, 
&c. ; in the provinces especially were 
qusEstors, who collected the revenue 
there and sent it to Rome to the public 
chest, and also, when an army was 
kept in the province, paid the soldiers.

one at Rome, were properly called Pro-
