The Censor in ancient Rome was a government official who oversaw the census every five years. He had the power to snoop into people's finances, as the voting assembly, the Comitia Centuriata, was divided into wards based on wealth and age. He also reviewed the list of senators and could remove anyone from the senate who acted illegally or against Roman morality.

Who was The censor of early rome?

The Censor in early Rome was basically a snoop. His duties were to monitor conduct in both public and private affairs. For example, he could go into a senator's private accounts to see if he actually had the financial requirement to be a senator. (one million sesterces) If not, the senator could be expelled from the senate. The Censor could also monitor a person's private lifestyle. In the early days, too lavish a lifestyle was punishable by a heavy fine. His purpose was to see that Roman citizens adhered to the "old values". Needless to say, the job was unpopular and the Romans did away with that part of it. Another of his duties was to oversee the census of Roman citizens every five years.
