List of urban prefects of Rome

This is a list of urban prefects of Rome, one of the oldest offices of the Roman state, attested from the time of the kings through the Republic and the Empire up until 599. The office also existed during the era of the Crescentii family in Rome, late 10th century, as well as in the early 12th century, when the Pope appointed its holders. It was especially influential during the imperial period and late Antiquity, when the urban prefect exercised the government of the city of Rome and its surrounding territory.
