Offices are easy ones to note.

Promagistrates- This includes the offices of ProConsul, ProPreator, and even proquaestors. Essentially inveted by the Senate to better control thier overseas territories without having to constantly elect new people for them. Since office terms typically were 12 months long with the exception of the Censor who has a office term of 18 months. Promagistrates didnt have set office terms like 1 year like ordinary offices and could be subjected to being replaced or overruled by roman assemblies.

Or just wikipedia the other offices but i think dependin on the timeframe the importance of Promagistrates.

I think everyone's heard of the Spartacus slave revolt, or any roman war i guess.
