Wikipedia, July 29, 2014: "Pannonia (Roman province)" (Pannonia: an ancient province of the Roman Empire; bounded north and east by the Danube, coterminous westward with Noricum and upper Italy, and southward with Dalmatia and upper Moesia, thus encompassing the territory of present-day western Hungary, eastern Austria, northern Croatia, north-western Serbia, Slovenia, western Slovakia and northern Bosnia and Herzegovina; little is heard of Pannonia until 35 BC, when its inhabitants were attacked by Augustus, finally subdued by 9 BC, and incorporated into Illyricum; in AD 6, the Pannonians rose in revolt, lasting 3 years; after the rebellion, the province of Illyricum was dissolved, its lands divided between the new provinces of Pannonia in the north and Dalmatia in the south; some time between 102-107, Trajan divided the province into Pannonia Superior (western part with the capital Carnuntum) and Pannonia Inferior (eastern part with the capitals in Aquincum and Sirmium; following the Migrations Period and the fall of the western Roman empire, the province was ruled successively by the Huns, Ostrogoths, Lombards, and Gepids; the eastern Roman empire also controlled it for a time in the 6th century)
