Do you have to be fluent in Greek to work as a censor or aedile?
Post Body

Im talking during the very Hellenized periods of Rome's history, of course, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th centuries.

I can certainly see Greek being important for consuls, urban prefect, and senators. But what about if you worked as a censor or aedile?

I mean do you really have to be fluent in Greek? How many Greek comedies and Greek works were even that suspicious to the censors?

Did the aediles also have to be Greek for festival events that included a multi-lingual crowd?
