Every Roman consul, the highest elected official in the cursus honorum, and every provincial governor was appointed a quaestor. Some provincial quaestors were assigned as staff to military generals or served as second-in-command to governors in the Roman provinces. Roman Empire[edit] See also Category: Roman Quaestors.
