Censor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (376 words) |
 | A censor was a high Magistrate (elected political officer) of the Roman Republic and Principate. |
 | Because their original task was to guard the morality of public life, mainly by the standards of the pagan state religion (until the imperial conversion to Christianity), and punish transgressions, they were also known as castigator(e)s. |
 | The censors were also in charge of the membership roll of the Senate, every five years adding new senators who had been elected to the requisite offices. |
