TaigaIn the city of Rome being a senator or a public official conferred prestige. Spending money for the public good, such as commissioning statues and artwork to embellish public places or financing gladiatorial games also conferred prestige.
In the Roman towns around the empire being decurion (a member of a town senate) conferred prestige. In Rome during the Republic the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) usually commissioned the construction of temples, the censors were responsible for the commissioning of public works and the aediles were responsible for financing and organising the games (entertainments) of religious festivals. During the period of rule by emperors, the emperors did all this and also commissioned the construction of public baths. In the other towns, instead, the decurions were supposed to send large sums of money to fund all this. They would compete with eech other in the provision of these facilities to maximise personal prestige.
