Explanation: This is a compound word. It refers to a Roman official, specifically a 'quaestor' or 'pro-quaestor'. A quaestor was a financial officer, often assisting a higher-ranking magistrate like a proconsul or propraetor. The prefix 'ἀντι-' (anti-) indicates 'in place of' or 'vice-', so an 'antitamiās' would be someone acting in the capacity of a quaestor, or a 'vice-quaestor', often with additional military or administrative authority, similar to a propraetor.
