The Praetorian Prefecture of Africa (Latin: praefectura praetorio Africae) was an administrative division of the Byzantine Empire in the Maghreb. With its seat at Carthage , it was established after the reconquest of northwestern Africa from the Vandals in 533–534 by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I .
Praetorian prefectures originated in the reign of Constantine I (r. 306–337), reaching their more or less final form in the last third of the 4th century and surviving until the 7th century, when the reforms of Heraclius diminished the prefecture's power, and the Muslim conquests forced the Eastern Roman Empire to adopt the new theme system.
First Flavius Odoacer and later Flavius Theodoricus were granted the prefecture of Italy; Louis I was recognized as the prefect of Gaul (which served him as a pretext to seize the Visigoths' territories in Gaul); the Visigoths were recognized for their dominion over the prefecture of Hispania; and the Vandals theirs over Africa.
The Prefecture was established after the death of Constantine the Great in 337, when the empire was split up among his sons and Constantius II received the rule of the East, with a praetorian prefect as his chief aide. The part allotted to Constantius encompassed four (later five) dioceses, each in turn comprising several provinces.
