Abstract

Quaestor’luk görevi Roma tarihindeki en eski magistratus’luk makamlarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Muhtemelen Roma Krallık Dönemi’nde oluşturulan quaestores parricidii görevinin, quaestor’luğun ilk formu olarak yargısal nitelikli bir görev şeklinde ortaya çıktığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde Roma’nın hâkimiyet alanının büyümesiyle farklı devlet görevlerine olan ihtiyacın ortaya çıkması sonucunda, quaestor’luk makamının mali yönetim ve denetimden sorumlu memuriyete dönüştüğü, Krallık Dönemi’nde oluşturulduğu varsayılan yargısal fonksiyonu haiz quaestores parricidii makamının zaman içinde yerini MÖ 366 yılında oluşturulan praetor’luk görevine bıraktığı yönündeki görüşler değerlendirilmektedir.

Office of Quaestor Parricidii During the Regal Period of Ancient Rome

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.
