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.

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.

Honestly looking at a century and a half now of reevaluating German scholarship has taught me that if a reconstruction of the Roman system seems simple, direct and rules-based, it is almost certainly wrong and one should assume ample BS ad-hoc-ery wherever possible.
