The word praefectus means 'the one who stands in front' (of others). The prefect was an official who was appointed by a magistrate, for a fixed period and a special task (mandatum). Originally, this was a military task; for example, the auxiliary troops were commanded by a prefect, and the praefectus castrorum was the garrison commander. Under the empire, the emperor was the only one who was allowed to appoint prefects; from now on, civil prefects became popular. However, the connection with the military usually remained present.
I thought it would be good to share with you guys what a prefect really means.
A prefect, by default, has to be on his/her best behaviour as he/she has been specially pointed out to LEAD. How is it possible for you to lead, if you're not showing your best behaviour? Be it on the net, Be it in school. Everybody's watching what you're doing. If you fail to live up to the expectation of a prefect, would anybody listen to you?
