In ancient Rome, contractors for construction and land cultivation. From the 2nd century onwards, the term came to refer not only to private contractors but also to contractors for mines, granaries and livestock in the empire. They either carried out the work themselves or acted as intermediaries, employing labourers. From the 2nd century onwards, the term also referred to those who collected local customs duties, tolls and other taxes on behalf of the tax collectors publicani.

古代ローマ時代の建築,土地耕作の請負人。2世紀以後は私的請負だけでなく,帝国領の鉱山,穀倉,家畜の管理請負人をもさすようになる。彼ら自身が職務にあたることも,また仲介者として労働者に働かせることもあった。この語はまた,2世紀以後,取税人 publicaniに代って地方の関税,通行税などを徴収した者たちをもさした。
