Cubicularii

Slaves who had charge of the sleeping and dwelling rooms. They were commonly divided into watches (stationes) for day and night, and also into decuries (Orelli, 4663; Domit. 17). Under the later emperors the cubicularii of the palace were called praepositi sacro cubiculo, and were persons of high rank.
