Noricum ripense
Noricum ripense ( Ufernoricum ) was a Roman province that emerged in the early 4th century when the former province of Noricum was divided .
Geographical breakdown
The province was north of the main Alpine ridge and belonged to the Dioecesis Pannoniae (from 395 Dioecesis Illyrici occidentale ). It included the areas of today's federal states of Upper Austria , Salzburg , as well as the southwestern part of Lower Austria ( Mostviertel ) and the Bavarian Chiemgau . What is meant by "Ufer" -Noricum is the Danube bank.
history
The new administrative unit was created in the course of the Diocletian reforms in the early 4th century by dividing the former Noricum . Militarily it was assigned to the Dux Pannoniae Primae et Norici Ripensis . King Odoacer ordered the resettlement of the Celto-Roman population from Noricum ripense to Italy in 488 . Contrary to earlier views, this order was probably only obeyed by a part of the Provençals. Name continuity in toponyms as well as an abundance of archaeological finds prove a broad cultural continuity beyond the official breakdown of the Roman administration and connect the Roman period through late antiquity with the early Middle Ages .
