Coactor
A name applied to collectors of various sorts—e. g. to the servants of the
publicani or farmers of the taxes, who collected the revenues for them (
Pro Rab.
Post. 11.30); also to those who collected the money from the purchasers of things sold
at a public auction (id.
Pro Cluent. 64.180). The father of Horace was a
coactor, but there are no means of determining to which class he belonged
(
Sat. i. 6, 86;
Vit. Hor.).
