This map illustrates the 'Diocesis Hispaniarum,' highlighting its ecclesial metropolitan sees and their suffragan dioceses, as detailed by Frederick Meyrick in his book, 'The Church in Spain.' The map also includes the province of Balearica.

TheBalearic Islands were detached from Tarraconensis in the 4th century as the independent province ofHispania Balearica, becoming the seventh province within the Diocese of Hispania.

History

[edit]

The Roman Empire was initially divided into 46 provinces, which were subdivided byDiocletian around 300 AD into 101 provinces, which in turn were grouped into 12 dioceses. At the division of the Empire in 395, the structure was changed into four prefectures, 15 dioceses and 119 provinces. With theconquest of Hispania by theVandals, Alans, and Suebi in 409, the diocese began to collapse.
