A '''Quaestor''' ([[Latin]] for "investigator") was any one of a number of Roman officials concerned chiefly with financial administration who had charge of public revenue and expenditure, in general the lowest-ranking regular [[magistrate]] in ancient Rome, whose traditional responsibility was the [[treasury]]. The position served different functions at different periods. In both the early [[Roman Republic]] and the [[Roman Empire]] the quaestor was “the man who asks questions.”  Occasionally, an honorary quaestorship was bestowed on an individual as a title of dignity.

A modern parallel to the quaestor is the [[federal]] or [[state]] [[audit]]or.
