List of Roman governors of Cilicia

This is a list of known governors of the Roman province of Cilicia. Although imperium along the southern coast of Asia Minor had been assigned to various propraetors beginning in 104 BC, it was only annexed to the Roman Republic as a province in 64 BC by Pompey as a consequence of his victory in the Third Mithridatic War. Cyprus was included in this province from 58 BC until 27 BC. Further subtractions and additions to its territory were made until AD 72, after which its boundaries were unchanged until Diocletian divided the province into three parts: Cilicia Prima, under a consularis; Cilicia Secunda, under a praeses; and Isauria, also under a praeses. Although passing into Byzantine control following the division of the Empire into Western and Eastern parts, these later provinces were lost in the seventh century as a result of the Muslim conquest of the Levant.

The list of governors from 96 BC to 31 BC is based on Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton, The Magistrates of the Roman Republic, vol. II and David Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor to the End of the Third Century After Christ, pp. 1594–1596.
