M. Barbatius Pollio held the unusual office Quaestor Pro Praetore in the east in 41-40 BC. He accompanied Marcus Antonius after the battle of Philippi. He was probably also Curule Aedile.
He restored aedicula shrine on the Forum Romanum and fountain of goddess Juturna (Lacus Iuturnae).
A provincial quaestor normally acted as subordinate to a governor. If the governor of a province died or left before the arrival of his replacement he was substituted for by his quaestor who governed as quaestor pro praetore until the expiry of the official year.
