| − | '''Moesia''' was a province of the [[Roman Empire]] from the time it was annexed by the emperor [[Augustus]] in 27 BC until the [[Battle of Adrianople]] in 378 AD. Moesia was a border province for much of its time in the empire, and as such was under constant attack from barbarian tribes. After Adrianople, the empire was unable to keep the barbarians at bay and they overran the province. Although Moesia was briefly regained in the middle of the 6th century due to the efforts of [[Justinian]], the territory was lost for good in 602 AD. | + | '''Moesia''' was a province of the [[Roman Empire]] from the time it was annexed by the emperor [[Augustus]] in 27 BC until the [[Battle of Adrianople (378)|Battle of Adrianople]] in 378 AD.
