History In the later organization of the Roman Empire, the increasingly subdivided provinces were administratively associated in a larger unit, the diocese (Latin ''dioecesis'', from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration").

These dioceses were often smaller than the provinces. Christianity was declared the Empire's official religion by Theodosius I in 380.
