Euphratensis (Latin for "Euphratean"; Greek: Εὑφρατησία, Euphratēsía), fully Augusta Euphratensis, was a Roman province in Greater Syria, part of the late Roman Diocese of the East.

History

Sometime between 330 and 350 (likely c. 341), the province of Euphratensis was created out of the territory of Syria Coele along the western bank of the Euphrates. It included the territories of Commagene and Cyrrhestice. Its capital was Cyrrus or perhaps Hierapolis Bambyce.
