Definitions

Of or pertaining to a promagistrate.

Examples

“The real effect of these two changes was not only to alter the constitutional character of the consulship, but to abolish the promagisterial character of the proconsulship, to make⟳ it in fact a distinct magistracy, with distinct duties, always provincial of its own⟳, a definite mode of appointment and a fixed duration.”

“The purpose must have⟳ been to provide⟳ elected magistrates to govern the two additional provinces acquired in Spain; but the converse of this was that it removed the need⟳ to confer promagisterial powers on private individuals, a practice which now ceased.”

“He stayed outside the pomerium, to retain⟳ his promagisterial powers: either in expectation of a triumph or to retain⟳ his independent command authority in the coming civil war.”
