Definition
Relating to or characteristic of an aedile or the office of aedile in ancient Rome.
Etymology
From Latin 'aedilis' (aedile) plus Latin suffix '-ic' (belonging to). Standard scholarly adjective formed in English for classical and historical texts.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'aedilic magnificence' was used by Roman historians to describe spectacularly extravagant public displays—it became almost synonymous with impressive but potentially wasteful public spending!
