SUMMARY
The region of the theme of Chaldia in northeastern Asia Minor was originally part of the theme of Armeniakon. Its organization into a theme dates back to the beginning of the 9th century with a view to defend the borderline from the Arab threat. The location of the theme in the border and its loose ties to Constantinople resulted in incitement to rebellions by the strategoi of the region and caused many problems to the central administration.
