Tribūni Aerarii

The name given among the Romans in earlier times to the wealthy members of the several tribes who were intrusted with the levying of the war-tax (see Tributum) and the distribution of pay to the soldiers from the proceeds of it. What position they held after the payment of the troops was handed over to the quaestors is not clear, from want of information on the subject. In the first century B.C. they appear as a distinct class, from which, during the years B.C. 70-46, the third decuria of judges was appointed to represent the plebeians, the other two consisting of senators and knights.
