Join the roomCyprus or the Theme of Cyprus was a Byzantine province comprising the island of Cyprus, established in 965 after the reconquest of Cyprus by the Byzantine navy. Prior to this the island had been a condominium between the Byzantine Empire and Arab caliphate for three centuries, except occasional short periods where it was occupied by either power. Important cities on the island at this time included Nicosia, Limassol, and Famagusta.
