This book explores the ancient Roman municipal office of quinquennalis, examining its evolution and comparing the role of the quinquennalis to the position of Roman citizen censor. Drawing from historical record and inscriptional evidence, the author demonstrates that while quinquennales performed similar duties to the censors, namely, supervising the census and assessing property of citizens, their origins and methods of accession to the office differed. The work also analyzes instances where quinquennales were likely not citizens in the towns where they served, and delves into their eligibility for reelection and the length of their terms of office. The author concludes that the quinquennales were essentially municipal censors and that their existence illuminates the broader administrative structure of the Roman state.
