The chief treasurer in ancient Rome.
“The extraordinary title of count of the sacred largesses, was bestowed on the treasurer general of the revenue.” Edward Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1781).
Scale of 1 to 10: 6. A position of great trust. Would be more desirable occupation if the largesses belonged to the count. Will eventually engender a fatal bitterness in the soul and larceny in the heart.
