Noricum

a Roman province rich in gold and iron, between the upper reaches of the Drava and Danube rivers. The population was made up primarily of Celts. The land was conquered by Rome and made into an imperial province in 15 B.C. During the early empire, Noricum underwent rapid romanization. In A.D. 408 it was captured by Alaric. At the end of the fifth century, Noricum was conquered by Ostrogoths and incorporated into their state.
