520 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.
