A Roman military office which developed into a powerful position by New Testament times. They had control over entire countries under the Roman system. The procurator could issue death warrants (a privilege often withheld from subject peoples) and have coins struck in his name. Three procurators are named in the New Testament: Pilate (Matthew 27:2; some question whether Pilate was a procurator), Felix (Acts 23:24 ), and Festus (Acts 24:27 ). See Rome.
