Inscription about a frumentarius from Legio VII Gemina.

The frumentarii were an ancient Roman military and secret police organization used as an intelligence agency. They began their history as a courier service and developed into an imperial spying agency. Their organization would also carry out assassinations. The frumentarii were headquartered in the Castra Peregrina and were run by the princeps peregrinorum.Шаблон:Sfn They were disbanded under the reign of Diocletian due to their poor reputation amongst the populace.

History

It had been a long-standing policy of the Roman legions and armies of occupation to utilize informers and spies, but never in an organized fashion. This was especially true in the city of Rome which was rife with whispers and endless conspiracies. The frumentarii were possibly established by Domitian,Шаблон:Sfn although they only appear in records shortly after his reign in the early second century. When established, their base was located at the Castra Peregrina on the Caelian hill,Шаблон:Sfn though Trajan would later centralize their location in Rome.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn During their early history, they were tasked with supplying grain to the military, delivering messages between the provinces and the empire,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and collecting tax money.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

They were sometimes called nomas ("nomads" in Latin) to protect their identity in enemy territory.

After the end of the Flavian Dynasty, the frumentarii developed into a police force. They worked as non-commissioned officers with praetorian cohorts to police the populace.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This organization was part of the military, and its members were legionaries.Шаблон:Sfn Members of this group were recruited from the military.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn By the 2nd century, the need for an empire-wide intelligence service was clear. But even an emperor could not easily create a new bureau with the express purpose of spying on the citizens of Rome's far-flung domains. A suitable compromise was found by Hadrian.Шаблон:Sfn He used the frumentarii as a spying agency because their duties brought them into contact with enough locals and natives, allowing them to acquire considerable intelligence about any given territory. Alongside these duties they also may have overseen and guarded mining operations.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

They served as secret police and as an intelligence agency in ancient Rome. Emperors would use them to gather information on friends, family, officials, or soldiers.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This organization was sometimes tasked with assassinating whomever the emperor wished.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Peasants disliked the frumentarii due to false and arbitrary arrests. They were seen as a tyrannical "plague" on the empire.Шаблон:Sfn These complaints lead to the disbandment of the organization in 312 CE during the reign of Diocletian.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The frumentarii were replaced by the agentes in rebus.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

They were run by the princeps peregrinorum who was considered to be a senior centurion and answered to the praetorian prefect.Шаблон:Sfn The subprinceps was the second-in-command to the princeps peregrinorum and the optio peregrinorum, canaliclarius,Шаблон:Sfn and aedilis castrorum were all other offices in the frumenatarii.Шаблон:Sfn The curatio frumentarii would command the frumentarii in the imperial provinces.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The frumentarii served in the officium consularis of the local governor.Шаблон:Sfn
