The Diocese of the East (Latin: Dioecesis Orientis; Vardenian: Արևելքի թեմ), colloquially referred to as Constantia (Vardenian Կոստանդիա; Mysian: Κωνστάντια), is a diocese of Latium. It is the only territory of Latium to span multiple continents, occupying a strategic location spanning the Alcaean Straits, linking the Periclean and Ozeros Seas.
The diocese consists of 5 provinces, including Valenopolis which is coterminous with the city of the same name. It was created a diocese in 1955, previous to that holding the status of a Caesarian province. It is the second iteration of the Diocese of the East, the first being created in the Xth century AD. Its administrative headquarters is located in Valenopolis. Constantia enjoys a degree of autonomy. While Latin is the official language of government in Constantia, Mysian, Vardenian, and X are recognized languages and enjoy equal dignity with Latin.
Constantia, and its surrounding area, have been inhabited by diverse civilizations including the X, Mysians, Vardenians, and successive empires including the ancient Teispids, Latins, Mesfid and Almurid Caliphates, and X. From 1444 to 1851 the area served as the capital region of the Kingdom of Vardenia, though at times was a tributary of larger neighboring states. Today it is one of the most diverse areas in Latium.
