List of provinces of the Roman Empire

Roman Empire

This list contains the provinces of the Roman Empire regardless of the time of their existence.

For lists of provinces for a specific period see:

• List of Roman provinces up to Diocletian (up to the administrative reform of Diocletian , Roman emperor from 284 to 305)
• List of the Roman provinces from Diocletian (from the administrative reform of Diocletian to the year 395, the year of the division into the Western Roman and Eastern Roman Empire )
• List of Eastern Roman provinces

List of later subjects of the Byzantine Empire

• List of Byzantine themes

The list contains the name of the province, the (approximate) current equivalent of its area, the time of establishment and, if necessary, the time of dissolution (in the event of division or incorporation into another province), and finally the main town, ie the seat of the governor.
