| Summary: | Under the rule of an equestrian praefectus as soon of their integration into the Roman Empire, the Alpes Maritimae remained as a praefectura for several decades. From the beginning, it was concentrated on the western Alpine slopes. The elevation to the rank of provincia, probably under Nero, was associated with the move of territorial limits up to the North. The province is constituted of six civitates: Cemenelum/Cimiez, provincial capital, Vintium/Vence, Glanate/Glandèves, Brigantio/Briançonnet, Salinae/Castellane and Sanitium/Senez. The territorial expansion continued during the 2nd century AD with the integration of four new civitates: Dinia/Digne, Caturigomagus/Chorges, Eburodunum/Embrun and Rigomagus/Faucon-de-Barcelonnette. During Late Antiquity, the province will go through an internal reorganization. Caturigomagus is integrated into the territory of Eburodunum which becomes the provincial capital in the second half of the 4th century (at the latest). Brigantio seems to go through the same situation with the absorption of its territory by Glanate. Finally, in the first half of the 5th century, Eturamina/Thorame-Haute acquired the status of civitas and the rank of bishopric. |
