The Roman Province of Macedonia was officially established in 146 BC , after the Roman general Quintus Caecilius Metellus defeated Andriscus Of Macedon in 148 BC , and after the four client republics established by Rome in the region were dissolved. The province incorporated Epirus Vetus , Thessaly , and parts of Illyria and Thrace .

In the 3rd Century or 4th Century , the province of Macedonia was divided into Macedonia Prima (in the south) and Macedonia Salutaris (in the north).

Macedonia Prima and Macedonia Salutaris were included in the Diocese Of Macedonia , one of three dioceses which were included in the Prefecture Of Illyricum , organized in 318 . When the Prefecture of Illyricum was divided into a Western and Eastern Illyricum in 379 , the Macedonian provinces were included in Eastern Illyricum . After the split of the Roman Empire into a Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire in 395 , Macedonia passed into the Byzantine Empire .
