Pannonia
Position of the Roman province of PannoniaPannonia is an ancient country bounded north and east by the Danube, conterminous westward with Noricum and upper Italy, and southward with Dalmatia and upper Moesia. Pannonia was located in the territory of present-day countries: Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Today, the term Pannonia is usually used for what is called Transdanubia (Dunįntśl) in Hungary and for the northern parts of former Yugoslavia which are located in the Pannonian plain.
History
Its original inhabitants were the Pannonii (Pannonians), an Illyrian tribe. From the 4th century BC it was invaded by various Celtic tribes. Little is heard of Pannonia until 35 BC, when its inhabitants, allies of the Dalmatians, were attacked by Augustus, who conquered and occupied Siscia (Sisak). The country was not, however, definitely subdued until 9 BC, when it was incorporated with Illyria, the frontier of which was thus extended as far as the Danube.
In A.D. 7 the Pannonians, with the Dalmatians and other Illyrian tribes, revolted, and were overcome by Tiberius and Germanicus, after a hard-fought campaign which lasted for two years. The proximity of dangerous barbarian tribes (Quadi, Marcomanni) necessitated the presence of a large number of troops (seven legions in later times), and numerous fortresses were built on the bank of the Danube.
Map of the Roman provinces Pannonia, Dalmatia, Moesia, and DaciaSome time between the years 102 and 107, between the first and second Dacian wars, Trajan divided the province into Pannonia superior (the western), and inferior (the eastern) portion. According to Ptolemy, these divisions were separated by a line drawn from Arrabona (Győr) in the north to Servitium (Gradika) in the south; later, the boundary was placed farther east. The whole country was sometimes called the Pannonias (Pannoniae).
Pannonia superior was under the consular legate, who had formerly administered the single province, and had three legions under his control: Pannonia inferior at first under a praetorian legate with a single legion as garrison, after Marcus Aurelius under a consular legate, still with only one legion. The frontier on the Danube was protected by the establishment of the two colonies Aelia Mursia (Esse) and Aelia Aquincum (Alt-Ofen) by Hadrian.
Under Diocletian a fourfold division of the country was made:
Pannonia Prima in the northwest, with capital in Savaria/Sabaria (Szombathely),
Pannonia Valeria in the northeast, with capital in Sopiane (Pécs),
Pannonia Savia in the southwest, with capital in Siscia (Sisak),
Pannonia Secunda in the southeast, with capital in Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica)
