 | | The nomination of the Magister Equitum was left to the choice of the Dictator, unless a senatus consultum specified, as was sometimes the case, the name of the person who was to be appointed. |
 | | The Magister Equitum was granted Praetorian imperium, thus was subject to the imperium of the Dictator, but in the Dictatorâs absence, he became his representative, and exercised the same powers as the Dictator. |
