Depending upon the rank of power, a magistrate could have supreme power in both civil and military matters. For example, they could administer civil law, preside over the courts, command provincial armies, conduct a census, appoint people to the senate, conduct domestic affairs in Rome, have power over the markets and over public games and shows, assist the Consuls in Rome, and the governors in the provinces with financial tasks, represent the people, and safeguard the civil liberties of all Roman citizens.
