The following table exhibits chronologically the progress of Lombard Conquest (so far as it can be discovered from our meagre data) from the first invasion to the reign of Rothari. Lombard Conquests. A.D. 568 Forum Julii, Vincentia, Verona; all Venetia (except the coast, Pata- vium, Mons Silicis, Mantua). ,, 569 Liguria, including Mediolanum (except the Maritime Coast, and Ticinum = Pavia). Also Cisalpine Gaul, except Cremona and some smaller places. „ 570-572 Central and Southern Ital}- partiallj' conquered, including Tuscan}' and the duchies of Spoletium and Beneventum. ,, 572 Ticinum (after a three years' siege) ; possibly Mantua and Placentia. ,, 579 Classis (but lost a.d. 588; recovered and surrendered, c. 720; taken by Liutprand, c. 725). ,, 588 Insula Comaciua (in L.

These tables depend mainly on the notices in Paul's History of the Lombards and on the notitia of George the Cypriote (ed. Gelzer). 4. THE ARMENLA.C PROVINCES OF JUSTINIAN AND MAURICE— (P. 52) Up to the time of Justinian there were two provinces entitled Armenia, form- ing part of the Pontic Diocese. Justinian in a. d. 536 redistributed these districts, creating four provinces of Armenia, which were formed partly out of the two old provinces, partly out of Pontus Polemoniacus, and partly of new territory which had hitherto lain outside the provincial system, i 1 Novel xlv.
