Flavia Caesariensis was one of the provinces of Roman Britain. Roman Britain refers to those parts of the island of Great Britain controlled by the Roman Empire between AD 43 and 410
It was created in the early 4th century under the reforms of Diocletian and it has been suggested that its capital may have been at Lincoln (based on a proposed amendment to the corrupt Verona List).

Flavia Caesariensis and its southern neighbour, Maxima Caesariensis, may have briefly comprised a single province which covered most of what is now eastern England. Maxima Caesariensis was the name of one of the four provinces of later Roman Britain (but is not named in the surviving copies of the Verona List, dated 312 England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland Eric Birley and others have suggested that the two provinces named Caesariensis were descended from a larger unit which received its unusual name due to Imperial favour. Eric Barff Birley ( January 12, 1906 - October 20, 1995) was a British historian and archaeologist, particularly associated with the After London welcomed Constantius Chlorus in 296 he argues that he may have granted it the additional title of 'Caesariensis'.

Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus Herculius (c 250 &ndash c Events By Place Roman Empire May 1 — Diocletian and Maximian, Emperors of Rome retire from office As Constantius was elevated to the title of Augustus in the same year, London may also have adopted the title at the same time, as indeed it was later known. The short period of it holding the title Caesariensis may explain why there is little other evidence of that name.
An alternative explanation is that the province was named after Flavius Constantius, emperor of the west and that Maxima Caesarensis was named in honour of Galarius Maximianus, emperor of the east. This raises the question of why an eastern emperor was honoured and the two Augusti of the Tetrachy were not.
