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.

But, for instance, Erdkamp understands quaestors to have their own provincia and thus their own grant of authority entirely separate from the fellow with imperium - in that case, we'd have to imagine an active Senate role in the who-goes-where-does-what question.

I lean towards Erdkamp's reading, mostly because it seems like the kind of BS ad-hoc-ery that the Romans adore. Certainly we have some imperium-havers who go through more than one quaestor over long commands.
