COACTOR
COACTOR This name was 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 (
Cic.
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
for determining to which class he belonged. (Hor.
Sat. 1.6, 86; Suet.
Vit. Hor.）
