Thevigintisexviri (sg.vigintisexvir;lit. 'twenty-six men') were a college (collegium) of minor magistrates (magistratus minores) in theRoman Republic. The college consisted of six boards:^[1]

thedecemviri stlitibus judicandis – 10 magistrates who judged lawsuits, including those dealing with whether a man was free or a slave;^[2]
thetresviri capitales, also known asnocturni – three magistrates who had a police function in Rome, in charge of prisons and the execution of criminals;^[3]
thetresviri monetales ortresviri aere argento auro flando feriundo – three magistrates who were in charge of striking and casting bronze, silver and gold (minting coins);^[4]
thequattuorviri viis in urbe purgandis – four magistrates overseeing road maintenance within the city of Rome;
theduoviri viis extra urbem purgandis – two magistrates overseeing road maintenance in the suburbs around the city of Rome proper; and
the fourpraefecti Capuam Cumas – praefecti sent toCapua andCumae in Campania to administer justice there.^[1]

Being a member of thevigintisexviri was a prerequisite to thequaestorship after thereforms of Sulla.^[5] The label used for these magistrates may only have been introduced after Sullan times, but the first of the constituent boards may date back to the third century BC.^[1]

Theduoviri viis extra urbem purgandis and the fourpraefecti Capuam Cumas were abolished byAugustus c. 13 BC, reducing thevigintisexviri to thevigintiviri.[1] In AD 13, the senate restricted eligibility, ordaining that only equites should be eligible to the college of the then-vigintiviri.^[6] The remaining boards were not abolished entirely until at least the third century.^[1]
