Plural of aedility; multiple offices, positions, or terms of the Roman aedile magistracy, or the collective duties and responsibilities of aediles.
From Latin 'aedilitas' (the position/office of aedile) plus English plural '-ies'. Used in Roman history to discuss various aedilician administrations or the institution across time.
Some aedilician competitions got so intense that rival aediles would literally try to out-build each other with public monuments and grander games—Roman cities grew in size and beauty partly because politicians fought for glory through infrastructure!
Plural of aedility; refers to multiple aedilician offices, all historically male-held. The term accumulates the gender exclusion of the Roman system.
In historical texts, use 'aedilities' accurately; when discussing multiple civic offices in general, use 'magistracies' or 'public offices'.
