Summary/Abstract: On May 18, 536, Emperor Justinian I created a military-administrative formation called Quaestura Iustiniana exercitus. The new structure included five provinces of the Prefecture of the East: Moesia Secunda and Scythia Minor (from the Diocese of Thrace), Cyprus (from the Diocese of the East), Caria and the Cyclades Islands (from the Diocese of Asia). Justinian's Quaestura exercitus was ruled by a quaestor exercitus, who had both civil and military powers. A possible quaestor exercitus was General Germanus, son of Dorotheus. In the spring of 559, he ensured the defense of Chersonesus of Thrace against the attacks of the Kutrigur Huns.
