Rûm Province, Ottoman Empire

Rûm Province, Ottoman Empire

Rûm (originally Arabic for Rome) was an Ottoman province in northern Anatolia, founded following Bayezid I's conquest of the area in the 1390s. The capital was the city of Amasya. After the capital was moved to at first to city of Tokat and finally city of Sivas.

Rûm was the old Seljuk Turkish word for Anatolia, referring to the Eastern Roman Empire and in European texts as late as the nineteenth-century the word Rûm (or Roum) was used to denote the whole of central Anatolia, not just the smaller area comprising the Ottoman province (see Sultanate of Rûm). Also Urumeli Vilayet-i Celilesi (or Rumeli Vilayet-i Celilesi) was used in Rumelia area for Manasdır (Bitola)province in Pax Ottoman time.
