  • The aes equestre was an allotment paid during the Roman Republic to each cavalryman to provide him with a horse. This was said to have been instituted by Servius Tullius as part of his reorganization of the military. This allotment was 10,000 asses, to be given to the Equus publicus out of the public treasury of Rome. A similar allotment, the aes hordearium paid for the horses' upkeep, and was funded by a tax of 2,000 ases annually on unmarried women and orphans possessing a certain amount of property Some say the equites had a right to distrain for this money likewise, it seems impossible that this account can be correct; for we can hardly conceive that a private person had a right of distress against a magistrate, that is, against the state, or that he could distrain any of the public property of the state. It is more probable that, since this money was paid by the single women and orphans, that it was against these that the equites had the same right to distrain, as they had in the case of the aes hordearium.

  • En Derecho romano se llamaba aes equestre (deuda ecuestre) a la suma que el Estado destinaba para proporcionar dos caballos a cada caballero. Esta costumbre estaba tomada de Corinto en tiempo de la monarquía; 1000 ases era la cantidad destinada y en la época de las guerras púnicas fue 10 000 ases. Al acreedor del Estado asistía la acción de la ley llamada per pignoris capionem; pudiendo tomar prenda contra el tribunal aerarii, como garantía del aes equestre. (es)
