agentes in rebus
The ''agentes in rebus'' ()〔Kazhdan (1991), p. 36〕 were the late Roman imperial courier service and general agents of the central government from the 4th to the 7th centuries.
== History ==
The exact date of their institution is unknown. They are first mentioned in 319, but may date to Diocletian's reforms in the late 3rd century. The ''agentes'' replaced the earlier and much-detested ''frumentarii'', and fell under the jurisdiction of the ''magister officiorum'' (Master of the Offices), hence their alternate Greek name of ''magistrianoi''.〔 As a result of the reforms of Diocletian, the ''frumentarii'' were disbanded. The central imperial administration still needed couriers, and the ''agentes in rebus'' filled this role. Originally they acted as the dispatch carriers, but eventually assumed a variety of duties - the title itself translates as "Those Active in Matters". They survived into the Byzantine Empire, being eventually abolished sometime in the early 8th century, as most of the ''magister's'' functions were taken over by the ''logothetēs tou dromou''.〔Kazhdan (1991), p. 37〕 The last reference to an ''agens'' comes in the chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor, where the ''magistrianos'' Paul is recorded as having been sent on an embassy in 678.〔Theophanes, ''Annus Mundi'' 6178〕
