Best Answer

Procurators served one of two roles. They would be appointed by the Emperor to govern smaller provinces, or they would act as the chief financial magistrates assisting the Senatorial governors of larger provinces. They were generally drawn from the equestrian class, while the governors of larger provinces were drawn from the senatorial class.
