An ''agoranomus'' or ''agoranomos'' (), in antiquity, was a magistrate of Athens: they were ten and they maintained order and policy in the markets, settled disputes, examined of the quality of the articles exposed for sale, inspected weights and measures, collected the harbour dues and enforced the shipping regulations. The ''agoranomus'' was much the same as the ''curule aedile'' among the ancient Romans. The word is compounded of the Greek ''ἁγορά'' ("market"), and ''νέμειν'' ("to distribute"). Aristotle distinguishes two kinds of magistrates, the ''agoranomi'', who had the intendance of the markets, and the ''astynomi'', who inspected the buildings. ==References== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agoranomus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
