magistratus minores

magistratus minores (maj-[schwa]-stray-t[schwa]s mi-nor-eez). [Latin “lesser magistrates”] Roman law. Magistrates with limited powers. Cf. MAGISTRATUS MAJORES.

“The magistratus minores were officials of minor importance, they had no imperium and were vested with a restricted jurisdiction and some functions in specific fields …. The tenure of a minor magistracy opened the way for the quaestorship, the first step in the career of magistratus maiores.” Adolf Berger, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law 572 (1953).
