I swear not a day goes by I do not learn some stupidly obvious thing I probably ought to have known years ago. Today's edition: Pro-quaestores, probably a thing. I always wondered because pre-Sulla it never seemed like there'd be enough quaestors. Well, there you go, I guess.

As the number of provinces increases, you end up with more imperium-havers than quaestors. What it seems like is happening, pre-Sulla, is that when a magistrate is prorogued (extended in command) his quaestor is as well.

So, Gaius Gracchus, for instance, serves two years as a quaestor in Spain. Sulla was Marius' quaestor for at least three years 107, 106 and 105.
