It was given to the most important governors and generals. Gradually, however, it fell into disuse and from the 12th century did not exist any more.
strategos ("general") During the Roman period his duties were mainly political. Οffice of the Byzantine state´s provincial administration. At first the title was given to the military and political administrator of the themes, namely of the big geographic and administrative unities of the Byzantine empire.
