Abstract
<p>W późnym Cesarstwie Rzymskim prefekci <em>praetorio </em>należeli do najpotężniejszych i najbardziej wpływowych dygnitarzy. Jednak ich wysoka pozycja była ograniczona przez samego imperatora: cesarskie konstytucje (ustawy) i politykę personalną. Innym sposobem nadzoru nad prefektami była rywalizacja pomiędzy wysokimi rangą dygnitarzami. W przypadku prefektów <em>praetorio </em>ich najpoważniejszymi rywalami byli <em>magistri officiorum</em>. W niniejszym szkicu staram się pokazać jak prefekci <em>praetorio</em> i <em>magistri officiorum </em>rywalizowali o kontrolę nad pocztą publiczną (<em>cursus publicus</em>) i w jaki sposób <em>magister officiorum </em>kontrolował <em>officium </em>praefekta <em>praetorio</em>.</p>

Off. obtained the right to issue evectiones Both acts date back to 382, and this is why we should pay particular attention to Pascal Stoffel’s conclusion that CTh VIII.
