The '''Pannonia Valeria''' or simply '''Valeria''', also known as '''Pannonia Ripensis''', was one of the [[provinces of the Roman Empire]]. It was formed in the year 296, during the reign of emperor [[Diocletian]], in a division of [[Pannonia Inferior]]. The capital of the province was [[Sopianae]] (today [[Pécs]]). Pannonia Valeria included parts of present-day [[Hungary]] and [[Croatia]].

The province continued as an entity under the rule of the [[Huns]] until the rise of the [[Kingdom of the Ostrogoths]] in the 5th century.

It then became the central Avar realm then part of the [[Avar March]], later grew into the [[Pannonian Slavs#Principality|Lower Pannonian Principality]] regaining [[Pannonia Secunda]] before being conquered by the [[Magyars]].
