Viātor

（“roadster”). A subordinate official (see Apparitores) employed by the Roman magistrates for sending a message or a summons, or for executing an arrest. The consuls and praetors had probably three decuriae of viatores; the tribunes had a special decuria, as also had the quaestors of the Treasury, and the officers who took their place under the Empire—i. e. the praefecti aerarii; also the aediles, the tresviri capitales, and the quattuorviri viis purgandis. They also appear in connection with provincial governors and sacerdotal bodies (De Sen. 16; Livy, vi. 15; Gell. xiii. 12).
