Everything about Dalmatia Roman Province totally explained
Dalmatia was an ancient Roman province. Its name is probably derived from the name of an
Illyrian tribe called the
Dalmatae which lived in the area of the eastern
Adriatic coast in the
1st millennium BCE.
History
The region was the northern part of the
Illyrian kingdom between the
4th century BC until the
Illyrian Wars in the
220s BC and 168 BC when the
Roman Republic established its protectorate south of the river
Neretva. Area north of the Neretva was slowly incorporated into roman possessions until the province of
Illyricum was formally established c. 32-27 BC
Dalmatia region then became part of the Roman province of
Illyricum. Between 6 and 9
AD the Dalmatians raised the last in a series of revolts together with the Pannonians, but it was finally crushed and in 10
AD Illyricum was split into two provinces,
Pannonia and Dalmatia. The province of Dalmatia spread inland to cover all of the
Dinaric Alps and most of the eastern Adriatic coast. Dalmatia was the birthplace of the Roman Emperor
Diocletian, who, upon retirement from Emperor, built
Diocletian's Palace near
Salona.
The historian
Theodore Mommsen wrote (in his
The Provinces of the Roman Empire) that all Dalmatia was fully romanized and
Latin speaking by the fourth century. After the
Western Roman Empire collapsed in
476, with the beginning of the Migration Period, the region was ruled by the
Goths up to
535, when
Justinian I added all Dalmatia to the
Byzantine Empire.
