Plural of edile; multiple Roman magistrates responsible for public buildings, streets, water systems, and public games.
Standard plural of edile. Rome typically had multiple ediles (usually four at a time), so the plural form was frequently used in historical and political discussions.
Rome's ediles competed fiercely to impress citizens with increasingly extravagant games and spectacles—the original version of expensive political campaigns where you had to spend huge amounts of your own money to win votes!
