vicarius

Under the Roman Empire, a vicarius was the deputy prefect of a diocese or group of provinces. The post was introduced under Diocletian who reformed the empire through his Tetrarchy. Under this system , the empire was ruled by two Augusti, each assisted by a Caesar. The east and western empires were then divided into large prefectures. Each prefecture contained several dioceses run by a Praetorian Prefect and the vicarius of each diocese was responsible for a number of provinces, each with its own governor. To take an example, Gaul was a territorial prefecture containing the dioceses of Britain and Gaul. Britain was divided into four (later five) provinces and the Vicar of Britain, based in London oversaw the governors of the British provinces.
