This article explores the debate raised around the soundness of hypothetical structural
changes occurred in the administrative organization of the provinces along the Lower
Danube during the 6th century. The hypothesis of a gradual shift from a centralized provincial
administration towards a city-based governance has been advanced on the basis of the
information provided by the fourth book of Procopius' De Aedificiis. The manuscript shows
indeed an interesting incoherence in the categorization of the forts and fortified settlements
in the region, insofar as when describing the situation of Dacia Ripensis and Dacia
Mediterranea it abandons a province-based listing in favor of a city-based organization. This
has led different scholars to surmise a progressive increment in autonomy and power of major
settlements at the expense of the provincial central authority. This hypothesis, however,
presents several issues, which emerge evidently through the comparison of Procopius' work
...with another relevant source of the time: the Novellae Iustiniani. The ambiguities around the
use of the lists in the De Aedificiis as evidence for administrative changes along the Lower
Danube will be analyzed within the historical frame provided by the development of the city
of Aquae, in Dacia Ripensis.
