DRĂCO. [SIGNA MILITARIA.]

DŬCĒNĀRĬI.--(1) The name given to the Roman procuratores, who

received a salary of 200 sestertia. The procuratores first received a

salary in the time of Augustus.--(2) A class or decuria of judices,

first established by Augustus. They were so called because their

property, as valued in the census, amounted only to 200 sestertia.

They appear to have tried cases of small importance.
