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. Occasionally, an honorary quaestorship was bestowed on an individual as a title of dignity.
