Summary

Apulia had formed a part of Longobardia minor until the ninth century. With the exception of the outer South-East, which the Greeks had reached from Sicily, it was a region of Lombard law, Latin language, and Roman rites, of which only the central part was heavily populated. The division of Longobardia minor between the empire and the principalities took place gradually. In 969–70, the theme became the catepanate of Italy. The gastalds were replaced by tourmarchoi; the empire sent officers of the tagmata and other troops. It created new towns in Basilicata. Finally, in the years 1010–20, the catepan Basil Boioannes founded the towns of Capitanata to protect the frontier with the principality of Benevento. In the central region the Byzantine fiscal system was implemented before the end of the tenth century.
