Cyrenaica is a historic land in eastern Libya that is a Roman province.
\nAlthough there is some confusion about the exact territory annexed by the Roman Empire<\/a>, it is known that Cyrenaica was transformed into a Roman province in 78 BCE. together with Crete<\/span>. In 20 BCE it became a senatorial province, as did the more prominent western Africa proconsularis<\/b><\/em><\/a>, and unlike Egypt<\/a>, which became the imperial domain of sui generis<\/em> (under the special management of the governor, praefectus augustalis<\/em>) in 30 BCE.<\/p>\n

Reforms carried out (including the uprising of the tetrarchy<\/b><\/a>) by Diocletian<\/a><\/b> in 296 CE changed the administrative structure of the province. Cyrenaica was divided into two separate provinces: Libya Superior<\/b><\/em>, containing Pentapolis with its capital at Vyrene, and Libya Inferior<\/b><\/em> with the capital in Marmarica.
\nBoth provinces belonged to the Egyptian diocese<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Western neighbour – Tripolitania<\/b>, the largest detached part of the former Africa<\/a> proconsularis<\/em>, has become part of the African diocese<\/b>.
\nAfter the earthquake in 365 CE, Cyrenaica’s capital was moved to Ptolemais<\/b>. After the empire was split in 395 CE Cyrenaica became part of the Eastern Roman Empire, bordering the west with Tripolitania, already under the rule of the Vandals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
