In the Roman social hierarchy, the equestrian order stood second
only to the senatorial aristocracy in status and prestige.
Throughout more than a thousand years of Roman history, equestrians
played prominent roles in the Roman government, army, and society
as cavalrymen, officers, businessmen, tax collectors, jurors,
administrators, and writers. This book offers the first
comprehensive history of the equestrian order, covering the period
from the eighth century BC to the fifth century AD. It examines how
Rome's cavalry became the equestrian order during the Republican
period, before analysing how imperial rule transformed the role of
equestrians in government. Using literary and documentary evidence,
the book demonstrates the vital social function which the
equestrian order filled in the Roman world, and how this was shaped
by the transformation of the Roman state itself.
