Flavia Caesariensis

Roman Britain around AD 410, without speculative provincial borders.

Flavia Caesariensis (Latin for "The Caesarian province of Flavius"), sometimes known as Britannia Flavia, 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. It seems to have been named after Chlorus's family and was probably located beside Maxima Caesariensis, but their positions and capitals remain uncertain. At present, most scholars place Flavia Caesariensis in the southern Pennines, possibly reaching the Irish Sea and including the lands of the Iceni. Its capital is sometimes placed at Lindum Colonia (Lincoln).

The traditional arrangement of the late Roman provinces after Camden,[2] placing Flavia in central England. On the basis of modern archaeology, it's known that at least Corinium was part of Britannia I.
Another possible arrangement of the late Roman provinces, with more northerly borders for Flavia
