Magistratus minores were officials in ancient Rome who had limited powers. They were not as important as the magistratus maiores, who had more authority. The magistratus minores had specific duties and responsibilities in certain areas, but they did not have the power to make important decisions. Serving as a magistratus minor was often a stepping stone to becoming a magistratus maior.
