Abstract :The title of Quaestor is recognized as one of the oldest magistratus titles in the history of Rome. It is thought that the office of quaestor parricidii, which was probably established during the regal period, emerged as a judicial office as the first form of the office of quaestor. This study evaluates the claim that, as a result of Rome’s sphere of dominance growing in the Republic period and the need for different state duties arising, the office of quaestor was transformed into a civil authority responsible for financial management and supervision, while the office of quaestor parricidii, which is assumed to have been established in the regal period as a judicial body, was replaced with the office of praetor formed in 366 BCE.
