Duumviri navales

The Duumviri navales, lit. 'two men dealing with naval matters',^[1] were two naval officers elected by the people of Rome to repair and equip the Roman fleet.^[2] Both Duumviri navales were assigned to one Roman consul, and each controlled 20 ships.^[3]^[4] It has been suggested that they may have been in charge of the ships of the Socii navales rather than those of the Roman fleet.^[1] The position was established in 311 BC by the Lex Decia.^[5]
