description The creation of the procurator summarum rationum and Beryllus’ title rationalium vicarius listed in IRCPacen 121 have been major arguments in favour of accepting that changes were made to the financial administration in the second half of the 2nd century, and that a reform of the officium a rationibus was carried out by Marcus Aurelius (between 166 and 169), because from then on a procurator a rationibus (trecenarius) and a procurator summarum rationum (ducenarius) subordinate to him were to act as the rationales. I attempt to demonstrate that the claim about a collegium (or officium) rationalium being active from the reign of Marcus Aurelius over-interprets the data. The reform of the central financial administration and the appearance of collegium rationalium ought to be dated, not to the reign of Marcus Aurelius, but rather of Septimius Severus.
