Pannonia Prima was the northwestern quadrant of the four subdivisions of Pannonia. It was bordered on the west by the
Decline and Fall
Emperor Gratian (367-383) began settling Huns as foederati in Pannonia.[8] Roman money had ceased circulating in all Pannonia north of the Drave (including Pannonia Prima) by 375, indicating that little Roman influence remained in the area. The foederati and Visigothic and Hunnic barbarians caused trouble, and the situation in Pannonia was described by Claudian as "a continual siege" in 399. Pannonia Prima held out under Generidus, but was eventually assimilated into the Huns' territory by 427. Rome would never regain effective control of this area, but nominally remained a Roman province, until the fall of the Ostrogothic Kingdom in 553.[9]
