The Emilia-Romagna region consists of two parts, the Emilia region in the west and the Romagna region in the east. In Emilia were placed until 1860, the two Duchies, of Parma and Modena. The Romagna belonged until 1860 to the Papal States (Patrimonium Petri). The name "Emilia" goes back to a Roman road which crossed the region, the "Via Aemilia". The name of the street was transferred to an entire landscape. The name "Romagna" goes back to the 6th century, when the Lombards described this landscape as a to Byzantium (Eastern Rome) belonging region, namely "Romania". This has its roots in the Byzantines themselves, who liked it to call themselves as Romeans, even though they spoke in Greek. So the Romania belonged to the Romeans.
