Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the career of Archelaos, who during the reign of Justin was the prefect praetorio Orientis and Illyricum, and during the reign of Justinian he became the first prefect praetorio per Africam. The experience gained by him in managing large administrative units of Pars Orientis was probably the reason for entrusting him with the task of organizing administrative structures in the areas of the Vandal kingdom conquered by Belisarius. The course of Archealos’ career may be a starting point for considering possibility taking positions of lower rank by the highest officials of the Empire. Also shedding light on the issue of their mobility within the administrative apparatus.
