Archbishopric of Justiniana Prima

Semi-Autonomous: Archbishopric of Justiniana Prima was a Christian autonomous Archbishopric with see in the city of Justiniana Prima and jurisdiction over the Late Roman Diocese of Dacia in central parts of the Southeastern Europe.

[1] The archdiocese was established in 535 AD by Emperor Justinian I, in his presumed home-town of Justiniana Prima (near present-day Lebane, in Southern Serbia).

[2] The very first archbishop of Justiniana Prima was Amincius, later marthirized in a raid by Cumans.

[citation needed] Its last mention is in 602, amid the Slav raids on the Balkans.

According to Novella 11, issued in 535, the first Archbishop received canonical jurisdiction over the following Byzantine provinces, mainly on the territory of the Diocese of Dacia:[3] But by 545, in the Novella 131, Macedonia Secunda was omitted.
