These reforms also saw the number of Roman provinces increased, and the creation of a new administrative level, the diocese. In the eastern parts of the Empire, dominated by Greek language and common use of Greek terminology, vicarius was called exarch.[2] The princeps (i.e. chief of staff) was chosen from among the senior agentes in rebus (couriers or special investigators, 'men of affairs,' from the ministry of the interior headed by the master of the offices), from the salaried class of the ducenarii (those earning 200,000 sesterces a year the highest regular pay grade in the Roman civil service; the highest officials, governors and above, were not civil service).
