Arcadia Aegypti
Arcadia or Arcadia Aegypti was an ancient Roman province in northern Egypt. It was created between 386 and ca. 395 out of the province of Augustamnica and named for the reigning emperor, Arcadius. The province comprised most of the historical region known as "Heptanomis" ("Seven Nomes"), except for Hermopolis, which belonged to the Thebaid.[1] In the Notitia Dignitatum, Arcadia forms one of six provinces of the Diocese of Egypt, under a praeses.[1][2]

| As found in the Notitia Dignitatum. Provincial administration reformed and dioceses established by Diocletian, c. 293. Permanent praetorian prefectures established after the death of Constantine I. Empire permanently partitioned after 395. Exarchates of Ravenna and Africa established after 584. After massive territorial losses in the 7th century, the remaining provinces were superseded by the theme system in c. 640–660, although in Asia Minor and parts of Greece they survived under the themes until the early 9th century. |
