Alpes Maritimae [alˈpeːs maˈri.ti.mae̯] was a province of the Roman Empire. It, Alpes Poeninae and Alpes Cottiae were the three provinces straddling the Alps between modern France and Italy.

History

Founded in 14 BC by Augustus, Alpes Maritimae initially had its capital at Cemenelum (modern Cimiez), which is now a district within the city of Nice, France.

In 297, the province was extended to the north and north-west as far as the River Durance (Druentia) and the Montgenèvre Pass. Its capital was transferred to Civitas Ebrodunensium, which today is known as Embrun.
