Its capital was at Alexandria, and its governor had the unique title of praefectus augustalis ("Augustal Prefect", of the rank vir spectabilis) instead of the ordinary vicarius. The diocese was initially part of the Diocese of the East, but around the year 380, it became a separate entity, which lasted until its territories were finally overrun by the Muslim conquest in the 640s. |
