A quick definition of diribitores:
Diribitores were officers in ancient Rome who distributed voting ballots to citizens during an assembly called comitia. Comitia was a gathering of the Roman people for legislative or judicial purposes, but women were not allowed to participate. There were different types of comitia, such as comitia centuriata, which elected magistrates and acted as a court of appeal, and comitia curiata, which authorized private acts of citizens. The comitia tributa, on the other hand, elected lower-ranking officials and undertook legislative activity in the later Roman republic. Diribitores played an important role in ensuring fair and accurate voting during these assemblies.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Diribitores were officers in ancient Rome who distributed voting ballots to citizens during comitia, which were assemblies of the Roman people for legislative or judicial purposes. Women were excluded from participation.
Example: The Comitia Centuriata was an assembly of the entire populace, voting by centuries (that is, military units) empowered to elect magistrates and to act as a court of appeal in a capital matter. The diribitores were responsible for distributing voting ballots to the citizens during this assembly.
Explanation: The example illustrates how the diribitores were responsible for distributing voting ballots to the citizens during the Comitia Centuriata assembly. This allowed the citizens to cast their votes and participate in the election of magistrates and the decision-making process of the assembly.
