Theodorias (province)

Theodorias (Greek: Θεοδωριάς) was a Byzantine province created in 528 by Emperor Justinian I and named in honour of his wife, the Empress Theodora.

The new province remained part of the Diocese of the East.

Its capital was Laodicea (in Syria; now Latakia), and it also included the cities of Paltus (Arab al-Mulk), Balaneae and Gabala.

The province survived until the Muslim conquest of Syria in the 630s.
