Sumario:The advances in historical research centered in the use of the prosopography doesn´t has been followed by a great diffusion of his progress and challenges.  The ignorance about them is yet more pronounced in the latin-american academic circles. This short article tries to collaborate to the diffusion of the state of the question of the Late Antique and Byzantine prosopography. The framing for that is a description of the different stages in the elaboration of a work of that characteristics. To deploy this proposal, we will advance with the mention of an example of application of the prosopographical method. The same was structured around the study of some of the military dignities of the byzantine administration during the Renovatio of the emperor Justinian, the magistri militum / strategoi. The discussion of the methodology used for the contemporary research in the field intent to collaborate to their diffusion both to advance with the debate of his empirical bases, in particular respect of the prospection of the sources and with the construction of the files of the studied characters.
