- Abstract
- The paper deals with the prosopographical problems of political and administrative history of the Roman Empire in 340-350 AD. The author suggests a reconstruction of careers of some of the higher officials: Flavius Amantius (consul of 345 AD), Flavius Philippus (consul of 348 AD), Flavius Sergius (Maiorinus?) (consul of 350 AD), praetorian prefects Anatolius and (Anicius?) Anicetus and the magister officiorum Flavius Eugenius. The time of appearance of the separate praetorian prefecture of Illiricum is specified as well. The reconstruction is based on the analyses of the consuls' and praetorian prefects' collegia. The following conclusions are advanced: the position of consulmaior could only be taken by the person who had held the office of praetorian prefect for the longest time and who had never taken the position of ordinary consul before. The article also establishes the fact that the representatives of East and West regularly took turns in the position of consul maior.
