The Notitia Dignitatum is a unique document of the Roman imperial chanceries. One of the very few surviving documents of Roman government, it details the administrative organisation of the eastern and western empires from the imperial court down to the provincial level. It is usually considered to be up to date for the Western empire in 420s, and for the Eastern empire in 400s. However, no absolute date can be given, and there are omissions and problems.
