Vicus
In ancient Rome, the ''vicus'' (plural ''vici'') was a neighborhood. During the Republican era, the four ''regiones'' of the city of Rome were subdivided into ''vici''. In the 1st century BC, Augustus reorganized the city for administrative purposes into 14 regions, comprising 265 ''vici''.〔Paul Zoch, ''Ancient Rome: An Introductory History'' (University of Oklahoma Press, 1998), p. 233; Paul Zanker, ''The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus'' (University of Michigan Press, 1988), p. 155.〕 Each ''vicus'' had its own board of officials who oversaw local matters. These administrative divisions are recorded as still in effect at least through the mid-4th century.〔As recorded in the regionary catalogues; Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, "Emperors and Houses in Rome," in ''Childhood, Class, and Kin in the Roman World'' (Routledge, 2001), and "''Domus'' and ''insulae'' in Rome: Families and Housefuls," in ''Early Christian Families in Context: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue'' (Wm. B. Eerdmans, 2003).〕
The Latin word ''vicus'' was also applied to the smallest administrative unit of a provincial town within the Roman Empire, and to an ''ad hoc'' provincial civilian settlement that sprang up close to and because of a nearby official Roman site, usually a military garrison or state-owned mining operation.
==Local government in Rome==
Each ''vicus'' elected four local magistrates (''vicomagistri'') who commanded a sort of local police force chosen from among the people of the ''vicus'' by lot. Occasionally the officers of the ''vicomagistri'' would feature in certain celebrations (primarily the ''Compitalia'') in which they were accompanied by two lictors.〔''Oxford Classical Dictionary,'' Vicus.〕
