Ancient Roman temple, the Curatores Aedium would have been responsible for managing it

The Curatores aedium sacrarum et operum locorumque publicorum was a Roman political position.[1][2][3][4] In surviving Roman inscriptions, the words aedium sacrarum are usually preceded by the word curator. However, sometimes they are stated to be resitutors or subcurators.[5][6] Typically this office was reserved for politicians of praetorian or consular rank.[7][8][9] Exceptions could be made, Julius Galerius Asper was allowed to hold this position before he had become a quaestor due to his prestigious father.[10] It was established between 11 BCE and 14 CE by Augustus or Tiberius to manage the upkeep and construction of public works,[11][12] sacred places, and temples.[13][14][15][16] Their workforce consisted of freedmen.[4] These tasks were previously accomplished by the Aediles.[17][18] This office was also likely municipal, and they only held their office for one year.[7] This office may not have continued existing after the Julio-Claudian dynasty.[19] It is also possible that it continued to exist, even into the Later Roman Empire, becoming known as the curator operum publicorum vir clarissimus by the time of Diocletian.[20]
