Thracia
Thracia was a province of the Roman Empire created by the emperor Claudius in 46 CE after the murder of the client king Rhoemetalces III, covering much of present-day southern Bulgaria, north-eastern Greece and European Turkey. Its main cities included Philippopolis and Perinthus. Under Diocletian it was divided into several smaller provinces forming the Diocese of Thrace.
