Abstract

Poetovio, an important Norican settlement on the ancient amber trading route, belonged to the province of Pannonia in the period of its greatest prosperity, and was known from the period of Trajan onwards as colonia Ulpia. As is shown by the Itinerarium Hierosolymitanum (561, 4) and the Tabula Peutingeriana (IV, 20), in the 4th century - undoubtedly after the changes in provincal administration introduced by Diocletian - the city was again attached to Noricum, more exactly: to the province of Noricwn Meditarraneum, as is confirmed by later sources.
