Specialists in the Roman army: the military role of the Frumentarii during the Principate
Abstract
This article offers a fresh perspective about the role and evolution of one of the sections of the Roman army, the Frumentarii. Linked with the rank of principales, and with the supply and provisions, especially grain, as their name seems to indicate, this squad took at an early date a great deal of additional functions. Missions to drive and protect luxury stuff to Rome, «espionage», surveillance, police duties, murder, collecting taxes and provincial defense supervision, were some of the unalike but key functions carried by them until the end of Third Century. Although it seems as their infamous reputation fostered their disbandment, for long years they were the emperors’ ears and eyes. We will try to explain their development and importance in the Roman society, highlighting the survival of their military skills.
