  • Dux Britanniarum was a military post in Roman Britain, probably created by Diocletian or Constantine I during the late third or early fourth century.[citation needed] The Dux (literally, "(military) leader") was a senior officer in the late Roman army of the West in Britain. It is listed in the Notitia Dignitatum as being one of the three commands in Britain, along with the * Comes Britanniarum and * Count of the Saxon Shore. The Dux Britanniarum was commander of the troops of the Northern Region, primarily along Hadrian's Wall. At the imperial court the Dux had the highest ranking class of viri spectabiles. His responsibilities covered the area along Hadrian's Wall, including the surrounding areas to the river Humber in the southeast of the city of Deva (Chester) and today's Yorkshire, Cumbria and Northumberland to the mountains of the Southern Pennines. The headquarters were in the city of Eboracum (York). The purpose of this buffer zone was to preserve especially the economically important and prosperous southeast of the island from attacks by the Picts (tribes of what are now the Scottish lowlands) and against Scots (Irish raiders).
