ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The province of Asia was established in 129 BC by the consul Manius Aquilius, based on the dominions of the kingdom of Pergamon that Attalus III had bequeathed to the Roman people in 133 BC. The province comprised the regions of Troad, Aeolis, Mysia, Ionia, Lydia and Caria. Phrygia was added to them later. In 27 BC, the structure of the province was reorganized by Augustus and came under the jurisdiction of the senate. The borders of the province did not change until Diocletian’s reign at the end of the 3rd cent. AD, when it was divided into seven smaller administrative units, one of which retained the older name of the province. |
