of roman empire c ad 296 395 western roman empire c ad 395 410 c ad 296 ad 410 another possible arrangement of the late roman provinces with prima in wales and cornwall capital corinium dobunnorum modern day cirencester historical era late antiquity establishment c ad 296 dissolution c ad 410 preceded by succeeded by britannia superior sub roman britain today part of united kingdom roman britain around ad 410 without speculative provincial borders britannia prima or britannia i latin for first britain was one of the provinces of the diocese of the britains created during the diocletian reforms at the end of the 3rd century 1 it was probably created after the defeat of the usurper allectus by constantius chlorus in ad 296 and was mentioned in the c 312 verona list of the roman provinces its position and capital remain uncertain although it was probably located closer to rome than britannia ii at present most scholars place britannia i in wales cornwall and the lands connecting them on the basis of a recovered inscription its capital is now usually placed at corinium of the dobunni cirencester but some emendations of the list of bishops attending the 315 council of arles would place a provincial capital in isca caerleon or deva chester which were known legionary bases the traditional arrangement of the late roman provinces after camden 2 placing prima along england s southern coast on the basis of modern archaeology the province at least reached as far north as corinium history edit following the roman conquest of britain it was administered as a single province from camulodunum colchester and then londinium london until the severan reforms following the revolt of its governor clodius albinus these divided the territory into upper and lower britain britannia superior and inferior whose respective capitals were at londinium and eboracum york during the first phases of the diocletian reforms britain was under the control of allectus britannic empire as part of the carausian revolt at some point after the territory was retaken by constantius chlorus in ad 296 the diocese of the britains with its vicar at londinium was established and made a part of the prefecture of gaul the britains were then divided among three four or five provinces a which seem to have borne the names prima secunda maxima caesariensis and possibly flavia caesariensis and valentia b 4 5 the placement and capitals of these late british provinces are uncertain although the late 4th century list of offices describes the governor of prima as being equestrian rank praeses making the province unlikely to have been based in londinium why describing the metropolitan sees of the early british church established by ss fagan and duvian gerald of wales placed britannia prima in wales and western britain 6 7 explaining its name by reference to the legendary brutus s first settlements 6 modern scholars disregard this gloss but generally agree in placing britannia prima in wales cornwall cornubia and the area connecting them 8 william camden placed prima to the south closest to rome 2 and this was generally accepted after the appearance of charles bertram s highly influential 1740s forgery the description of britain which gave prima borders south of the thames and the bristol channel 9 his work was however debunked over the course of the mid 19th century inscription of lucius septimius owing to an inscription discovered at corinium of the dobunni cirencester which refers to a rector of britannia prima named lucius septimius corinium is generally accounted as the provincial capital the list of bishops who attended the 314 council of arles is patently corrupt c but generally assumed to have mimicked the roman administration camden proposed that prima was based at london and secunda at caerleon and these were the two bishops apart from york 2 bishop stillingfleet 12 and thackery further proposed that scribal error had produced the bishop de colonia londinensium from london colony from original notes understood as civ col londin when civ col leg ii caerleon was intended 11 others place the bishop variously in lincoln chester and colchester 11 legions edit the second augustan and twentieth valerian legions may have still been based at isca augusta caerleon and deva victrix chester although this is unclear valentia edit main valentia ammianus records that in the year 369 count theodosius the elder established or refounded the province of valentia further attested in the list of offices from lands recaptured from the enemy 13 its location is a matter of scholarly debate but some place it in northwestern wales with its capital at deva chester if so it was probably intended to counter the extensive irish piracy and raiding occurring in late antiquity notes edit polemius silvius 5th century nomina omnium provinciarum gives six provinces but roman administration over the orcades orkney islands is generally discounted some modern scholars such as birley however believe maxima and flavia were originally a single province caesariensis which was later divided this comports with camden 2 and some texts of sextus rufus although they make the original province britannia maxima valentia is generally treated as a later formation and placed variously beyond the wall around the wall and in wales it may however have simply been another name for the british diocese as a whole 3 nomina episcoporum cum clericis suis quinam et ex quibus provinciis ad arelatensem synodum convenerint the names of the
