A Roman prefect was an official in ancient Rome who held various administrative and military responsibilities, often serving as a governor of a province or a commander of a legion. Prefects were typically appointed by the emperor and had authority over local matters, law enforcement, and tax collection. The role of prefect evolved over time, with notable examples including the prefect of the city of Rome, who oversaw urban governance and public order.
