{"product_id":"the-quaestorship-in-the-roman-francisco-al-pina-polo-daz-fern-ndez-9783110763706","title":"The Quaestorship in the Roman Republic","description":"The lack of evidence has proved to be the greatest obstacle involved in reconstructing the quaestorship and has probably discouraged scholars from undertaking a large-scale study of the office. As a consequence, a comprehensive study of the quaestorship has long been a desideratum: this book aims to fill this gap in the scholarship.\u003cbr\u003eThe book contains a study of the quaestorship throughout the Roman Republic, both in Italy (particularly at Rome) and in the overseas provinces. It includes a history of the office, an analysis of its role within the cursus honorum and its larger importance for the Roman constitution as well as the prosopography of all quaestors known during the Republican period based on the literary, epigraphic and numismatic evidence.\u003cbr\u003eThe quaestorship was always an office for beginners who aspired to follow a political career and hence served as institutional entrance to the senate. Despite their youth, quaestors were endowed with functions of great significance at Rome and abroad, such as the control and supervision of Rome's finances. As the book shows, the quaestorship was a prominent and essential part of the Roman administration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Pina Polo, Alejandro D?z Fern疣dez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110763702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110763706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.80d","brand":"Francisco Pina Polo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996563800319,"sku":"9783110763706","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a0f43ec-c587-4f7d-b87c-c5bd46a4bdd9.jpg?v=1683342413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quaestorship-in-the-roman-francisco-al-pina-polo-daz-fern-ndez-9783110763706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
