Mœsia


Moesia (/ˈmʃə, -siə, -ʒə/;Latin: Moesia; Greek: Μοισία, Moisía) was an ancient region and later Roman province situated in the Balkans, along the south bank of the Danube River. It included most of the territory of modern-day Central Serbia, Kosovo and the northern parts of the modern Republic of Macedonia (Moesia Superior), as well as Northern Bulgaria and Romanian Dobrudja (Moesia Inferior).

In ancient geographical sources, Moesia was bounded to the south by the Haemus (Balkans) and Scardus (Šar) mountains, to the west by the Drinus (Drina) river, on the north by the Donaris (Danube) and on the east by the Euxine (Black Sea).

The region was inhabited chiefly by Thracians, Dacians (Thraco-Dacians), Illyrian and Thraco-Illyrian peoples. The name of the region comes from Moesi, Thraco-Dacian peoples who lived there before the Roman conquest.
