The last representative of Roman civilization in Noricum was St. Severus around 475AD. He visited
Hallein and Salzburg (Juvavum) where he found an already established church. The abbot- bishop
St. Maximus was martyred, the bishopric abandoned, and barbarian tribes soon devastated the entire
area. It wasn't until 700AD that Christianity again made its appearance when Duke Theodore of
Bavaria, at the behest of St. Rupert, erected a church at Waldersee in honour of St. Peter, and made
Juvavum his episcopal seat. The cathedral monastery was also named St. Peter, and the convent of
Nonnberg was founded at this time.

Noricum was bounded by the Danube on the north, Raetia and Vindelicia on the west, Pannonia on
the east and by Pannonia and Italy on the south, corresponding to the greater part of today's
Carinthia, Styria and part of Austria, Bavaria and Salzburg. From about 200 BC, the Noricans had
relative independence as a part of the first Celtic Kingdom in Europe, an alliance of thirteen Celtic
tribes who had conquered the native Illyrians in the land of present day Austria.

In the first century AD. the Noricans, even with full Latin citizenship, never had to give up their
own elected officials. Noricum was a buffer zone against the German tribes for two centuries, but by
the early fifth century, mountainous Noricum was finally conquered. Since the soil was poor in this
area, it derived its revenue from iron, which supplied northern Italia. The people here were among
the ancient world's first steel smiths, and their steel was famous throughout the Roman empire.

St. Boniface completed the work of St. Rupert, and placed the Diocese of Salzburg under the
Primatial See of Mainz, substituting the Benedictines for the Irish monks in St. Peter's. The
abbot-bishop Virgil was succeeded by Arno, who enjoyed the respect of Charlemagne, who, after
overthrowing the Avars, assigned him the missionary territory which included all of the land between
the Danube, the Raab, and the Drave.While Arno was at Rome attending to some business for
Charlemagne, Pope Leo III appointed him Archbishop over the bishops of Bavaria. When a dispute
concerning the delimitation of their ecclesiastical provinces broke out between Aquileia and Salzburg,
Charlemagne declared the Drave the boundary. The dignity of the archbishops as territorial
sovereigns can therefore be traced to the great Charlemagne. The oldest library in Austria was
formed when Arno, at the court of the great emperor, had manuscripts copied in 150 volumes.

They carried on commerce with the Romans and enjoyed the status of hospitum publicum, or
friendship with Rome. When threatened by migrating German tribes in the 2nd Century BC, the
Celts called upon Rome for help, but the Roman army suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of
these tribes in 113 BC. The strong German tribes continued to move west through Gaul and posed
a serious threat to Rome by 103 BC., however the Romans defeated them in 102BC, and Roman
superiority would be established. From that point on, Noricum formed a border state of Rome, and
friendship and strong ties between the two survived through the rest of the Roman Empire's history.
In 16 BC, Noricum became a full province of Rome under the Emperor Claudius.

Gold and salt were also found in large quantities. Along with the mining industry, there was also
cattle breeding and production of perfume made from a native plant called saliunca, or wild nard,
which grew in abundance. The wine-loving Romans also encouraged wine grape cultivation.

Ruprecht of Salzburg (c.660-710) was a Frankish founder of Salzburgis, said
to be a scion of the Frankish royal Merovingian family. A contemporary of
Childebert III, king of the Franks, he was a bishop of Worms until around
697, at which point he became a missionary to Regensburg. There, he
baptized a number of nobles, and after considerable success, moved on to
Altötting and converted the locals. He went on to convert a large area of the
Danube where he introduce education and other social reforms. He promoted
the salt mines of Salzburg, at the time the ruined Roman town of Juvavum,
and he renamed the place "Salzburg." He is the Catholic patron saint of salt
miners. The Salzburg Cathedral is dedicated to him.
