A praefectus is an appointee of high rank to serve for various tasks. Praefecti can be appointed either by magistrates or by the senate, but regularly they are appointed by magistrates with imperium.

The most distinctive praefectura office in Nova Roma is the governorship of Italia, the office of the praefectus Italiae.

A list of notable praefecti in Nova Roma:

Praefecti governing territories

Praefectus Italiae

The praefectus Italiae is highest ranking among the praefecti in Nova Roma, and the only one that has imperium. The praefectus Italiae is the governor of Italia Nova Romana, appointed by the senate. The praefectus Italiae has imperium and is entitled to five lictores and sella curulis, and to all powers and privileges that are granted to the normal governors.

Current office holder: Cn. Cornelius Lentulus

Praefectus regionis

The prefect of a geographic political district of a province, appointed by the governor to oversee and manage the day-to-day operations of the appointed regio. He is a member of the cohors praetoria and consilium provinciae and does not have imperium.

Praefectus civitatis

This is essentially the same as the praefectus regionis, but instead of a regio, the praefectus civitatis is the head of a civitas, which is usually a subdivision of a regio. He is a member of the cohors praetoria and consilium provinciae and does not have imperium.

Praefectus rei publicae administrandae

Head of the Officium Administrationis Publicae (Office of Public Administration).

Current office holder: Cn. Cornelius Lentulus

Praefectus officio consulari itemque praetorio

Chief of staff of the consular government Praefectus Officio Consulari itemque Praetorio (Nova Roma) - Cn. Cornelius Lentulus. This position is combined with the praefectus rei publicae administrandae.
