Province, 117 CE

Thracia

Imperial province, praetorian legateCapital: Perinthus

A client kingdom until Claudius annexed it outright in 46 CE after the last Thracian king died without an heir the Senate trusted. Governed first by a procurator, then — from around 107 CE — by a full legatus Augusti, an upgrade in status that lands squarely inside this map's snapshot decade.

No individually mapped places in Thracia yet — the province still shows on the map's boundary layer.
