Roman History.
- : one of a board of magistrates in charge of public buildings, streets, markets, games, etc.

In later times no one could be aedile till he had completed his thirty-sixth year.
The aedile had the charge of the public edifices of the city, and of the games spectacles, and shows which were exhibited in them.
One side—the shortest—of it was occupied by the prefecture, in which the Aedile and Quaestor lived.
Under praetorian stipulations we must include also those directed by the aedile, for these too are based upon jurisdiction.
During the reign of Commodus, Dio practised as an advocate at the Roman bar, and held the offices of aedile and quaestor.
