SummaryAlongside their many other duties in Republican Rome, the censors were responsible for cura urbis, which included the building, repair and maintenance of public facilities. The censors were the founders of many of the Roman aqueducts, temples, and roads. They had the right to enter contracts for public works on behalf of the State with private companies, and they also held the ius publicandi, the right to expropriate land from private owners for these projects.
