Introduction

Both the senate and the magistrates have the power to not only appoint indivdual staff (apparitores) to serve magistrates and the state, but also to create or establish various public offices and working committees.

These offices and committees alike will vary in function and purpose, determined by the relivant senatus consultum of the senate or the edictum of the magistrate.

Any citizen or apparitores appointed to these offices or committees become permanent public servants in the government until otherwise removed or other condition that dissolves the office or committee. All current apparitores are listed in the Album Decuriarum Apparitoriarum.

The lists below define a “head of office” or “head of committee” as so appointed by a magistrate or the senate respectively. When a magistrate appoints such a construct, the magistrate will always remain responsible for, and the ultimate authority to, all apparitores in the office or committee. In contrast, certain senate created offices or committees can invest certain powers and rights to the appointed head of office and these individuals will take on a different level of responsibility.
