List Of Urban Prefects Of Constantinople
This is a list of urban prefects or eparchs of Constantinople. The Prefect or Eparch (in el, ) was one of the oldest and longest-lived offices of the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, being created in 359 and surviving relatively unaltered until the Fourth Crusade. The Eparch was one of the most important officials of the Empire, and exercised full control over all aspects of the administration of Constantinople, the Byzantine Empire's capital. In the Palaiologan period (1261–1453) the title was still awarded, but the office was replaced by several ''kephalatikeuontes'' (sing. ''kephalatikeuon'', κεφαλατικεύων, "headsman"), who each oversaw a district, effectively a separate village within the now much less populous capital. 4th century Proconsuls of Constantinople (until 359) * Alexander (342) * Ulpius Limenius (342) * Donatius (c. 343) * Montius Magnus (before 351) * Strategius Musonianus (before 353) * Anatolius (354) * Iustinus (355) * Photius (355/356) * Ara ...

Praefectus Urbi
The ''praefectus urbanus'', also called ''praefectus urbi'' or urban prefect in English, was prefect of the city of Rome, and later also of Constantinople. The office originated under the Roman kings, continued during the Republic and Empire, and held high importance in late Antiquity. The office survived the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, and the last urban prefect of Rome, named Iohannes, is attested in 599. Lançon (2000), p. 45 In the East, in Constantinople, the office survived until the 13th century. Regal period According to Roman tradition, in 753 BC when Romulus founded the city of Rome and instituted the monarchy, he also created the office of ''custos urbis'' (guardian of the city) to serve as the king's chief lieutenant. Appointed by the king to serve for life, the ''custos urbis'' served concurrently as the ''princeps Senatus''. As the second highest office sof state, the ''custos urbis'' was the king's personal representative. In the absence of the king from ...

Restitutus
Restitutus () was a Romano-British bishop, probably from Londinium (London), one of the British delegation who attended the church synod or Council held at Arles (Arelate), in Gaul, in AD 314. The list of those who signed the ''Acta'', the decisions made by the council, included three bishops, along with a "presbyter" and a "deacon", from Britain. The British bishops were Eborius "de civitate Eboricensi" – from the city of Eboracum (York); Restitutus "de civitate Londenensi" – from the city of Londinium (London); and Adelfius "de civitate Colonia Londenensium" – from the "'' colonia'' of the people of London". The text, which survives only in a number of later manuscript copies, is clearly corrupt in assigning two bishops to London. Since London was not a ''colonia'', most authorities have agreed that Adelfius' see is misrecorded, with proposed alternatives including Lindum (Lincoln) or Camulodunum (Colchester). Notwithstanding the debate about the role of Adelfius, it see ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
