Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VIGINTISEXVIRI , in Roman history, the collective name given in republican times to " twenty-six " magistrates of inferior rank. They were divided into six boards, two of which were abolished by
Augustus
 . Their number was thereby reduced to twenty and their name altered to VIGINTIVIRI (" the twenty "). They were originally nominated by the higher magistrates, but subsequently elected in a
body
  at a single sitting of the comitia tributa; under the
empire
  they were chosen by the senate. The following are the names of the six boards: (I) Tresviri capitales (see TRESVIRI); (2) Tresviri monetales; (3) Quatuorviri viis in urbe purgandis, who had the care of the streets and roads inside the city; (4) Duoviri viis extra urbem purgandis (see DuoviRs), abolished by
Augustus
 ; (5) Decemviri stlitibus judicandis (see DECEMvIRI); (6) Quatuor praefecti Capuam Cumas, abolished by Augustus. The members of the last-named board were appointed by the praetor urbanus of Rome to administer
justice
  in ten Campanian towns (
list
  in Mommsen), and received their name from the two most important of these. They were subsequently elected by the
people
  under the
title
  of quatuorviri :lure dicundo, but the date is not known.
See Mommsen, Romisches Staatsrecht, ii. (1887), p. J92.
