Upper Pannonia

Upper Pannonia

The Upper Pannonia or Pannonia Superior was ancient Roman province. It was formed in the year 103 AD. Upper Pannonia included parts of present-day Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovakia.

Cities

Some of the important cities in Upper Pannonia were: Siscia (today Sisak), Poetovio (today Ptuj), Iovia Botivo (today Ludbreg), Aquae Balissae (today Daruvar), Servitium/Serbinum (today Gradiška), Andautonia (today Ščitarjevo), Savaria (today Szombathely), Scarbantia (today Sopron), Arrabona (today Győr), Vindobona (today Vienna), etc.

Later usage

From cca. 796 to 828/830 Upper Pannonia, as a territory under Frankish influence, referred to present-day western Hungary, i.e. to Pannonia to the north of the Drava (and to the east of Carantania and Krain). From 828/830 onwards, Upper Pannonia referred to Pannonia to the north of the Rába River and to the east of Tulln. The name can be found even much later in a similar, but wider, meaning. E.g. Otto von Freising (Chron. 6, 15) uses it to refer to Austria (i.e. Austria proper) in the 12th century.
