Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 13.9 §2 Publius Rupilius the son of Publius, of the Menenian tribe, who is the company's manager
The magister was the elected managing director who handled the company's day-to-day operations in Rome; the tribal designation (Menenia) is part of his formal Roman citizen identification, not a rank.
