Roman Thrace Information

Thracia (Turkish: Trakya, Bulgarian: Тракия, Greek: Θρᾴκη) was the name of a province of the Roman empire. It was established in AD 46, when the former Roman client state of Thrace was annexed by order of emperor Claudius (ruled 41-54).

Under the administrative reforms of Diocletian (ruled 284-305), Thracia's territory was divided into four smaller provinces, Thracia, Haemimontus, Rhodope and Europa. These belonged to the diocese of Thraciae, which in turn was part of the Prefecture of the East.

History Provincial administration reformed and dioceses established by Diocletian, c. 293. Permanent praetorian prefectures established after the death of Constantine I. Empire permanently partitioned after 395. Exarchates of Ravenna and Africa established after 584. After massive territorial losses in the 7th century, the remaining provinces were superseded by the theme system in c. 640–660, although in Asia Minor and parts of Greece they survived under the latter until the early 9th century.
