Subsequently the territory was conquered by Rome and became part of two Roman provinces. The greater part was within Macedonia Salutaris, but the northern border regions, inhabited by the Dardani, became a part of Moesia Superior.[11] By 400 AD the Paeonians had lost their identity, and Paeonia was merely a geographic term.
