A cognitionibus

In Ancient Rome, a cognitionibus was one of the four offices in the chancellor's Imperial Rome office that helped the emperor in his judicial function.[1][2][3] It was a formal office function, like the ad legationes.[4]

With the restoration in Hadrian's era, it is possible that the office a libellis dominated the other three: a cognitionibus, a studiis and a censibus.[5] A studiis was a documentation office, and a cognitionibus was the office that studied the process of the emperor's appeal.[6] A correspondence office (ab epistulis) and an office that controlled the Roman Empire's finances (a rationibus) existed.[6]

In the Third century the offices of a libellis and a censibus or a libellis and a cognitionibus were merged.[7]

Marcius Agrippa was a cognitionibus and ab epistulis of Caracalla.[8]

The a cognitionibus appears in works of Cassius Dio and Philostratus performing a job that arranges the order of cases before the emperor and summoning litigants into the auditorium.[4]
