Biarchus

A Biarchus was a military position in the Late Roman Empire. Their duties are unknown, but they may have related to food supply. The earliest mention of the term Biarchus comes from an inscription dating back to 327.[1] The biarchus was subordinate to the centenarius but above the circitor in the command structure of the Roman military.[2][3]
