Vestiarion
The ''vestiarion'' ((ギリシア語:βεστιάριον), from (ラテン語:vestiarium), "wardrobe"), sometimes with the adjectives ''basilikon'' ("imperial") or ''mega'' ("great"),〔.〕 was one of the major fiscal departments of the Byzantine bureaucracy. In English, it is often known as the department of the Public Wardrobe. Originating from the late Roman palace office of the ''sacrum vestiarium'', it became an independent department in the 7th century under a ''chartoularios''. By the late Byzantine period, it had become the state's sole treasury department.〔 The public ''vestiarion'' must not be confused with the Byzantine emperor's private wardrobe, the ''oikeiakon vestiarion'', which was headed by the ''prōtovestiarios''.
==History and functions==
The bureau of the ''sacrum vestiarium'' (Latin for "sacred wardrobe") is first attested as one of the ''scrinia'' under the ''comes sacrarum largitionum'' in the 5th century, and was then headed by a ''primicerius''. In the 7th century, as the old Roman departments were broken up, the ''sacrum vestiarium'' and the bureaus of the ''scrinium argenti'' and ''scrinium a milarensibus'', which supervised the mints, were combined to form the department of the ''vestiarion'', under the ''chartoularios tou vestiariou'' (Greek: ).〔; .〕 The ''vestiarion'' functioned parallel to the other state fiscal departments, the ''sakellion'' and the various ''logothesia'', and was responsible for minting coin and bullion, as well as the maintenance of imperial arsenals in Constantinople and the provisioning of the imperial fleet and army. In effect, the ''vestiarion'' functioned parallel to the ''sakellion''; salaries for instance were paid one half by each department.〔 In the 12th century, the ''vestiarion'' became the sole state treasury, and was commonly referred to simply as the ''tameion'' ("treasury"). As such it survived into the Palaiologan period, when its chairman (''prokathēmenos'') was in charge of "revenue and expenditure".〔〔.〕
