Abstract
Documentation about the top equestrian staff during Antoninus Pius’ reign and at the beginning of Marcus Aurelius’ reign is abundant enough to allow the analysis of political life in terms of prosopography. The particularities of the praetorian prefecture emerge clearly : the evolution of this charge does not relate to others major equestrian prefectures as far as supposed. Drawing a trajectories parallel makes possible to propose some solutions about the final stages of some personages career, about their position in the palatium offices and in prefectures. The originality of L. Volusius Maecianus’ career, the great jurist of the Antonian period, appears during the years surrounding his student Marcus Aurelius’ advent.
