history
The Roman Empire was initially divided into 46 provinces , which Diocletian essentially increased to 101 provinces by dividing around 300 AD, which in turn were combined into dioceses. The head of the dioceses (and provinces) was the vicarius , deputy of the civil officer who emerged from the military praetorian prefect after 312 . The structure of the dioceses was changed when the empire was divided in 395 . The name was changed to Dioecesis Illyrici occidentale . In the 440s, the southern parts of the diocese were lost to the Huns .
