Duumviri navales

Roman naval officers responsible for fleet

The Duumviri navales, lit. 'two men dealing with naval matters', were two naval officers elected by the people of Rome to repair and equip the Roman fleet. Both Duumviri navales were assigned to one Roman consul, and each controlled 20 ships. 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. The position was established in 311 BC by the Lex Decia.
