The history of the Roscampus region is closely linked to that of the Philaridon Republic. The Republic was a {{wp|maritime republic}} in [[Levantia]] and was part of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. The city of Philaridon was included in the crown territory of the [[Southern Kingdom of the Levantines]] with the division of the Holy Levantine Empire in 917. Following the conquest of the Southern Kingdom and reestablishment of the Empire, the city was granted a special Charter by Emperor Leo I in 976. This Charter gave it {{wp|Imperial immediacy}} and permitted the city to autonomously chose its own system of government, leading to the adoption of a plutocratic mercantile republic in the same year as the once rival families of the city were coopted into a new, stable system. The Republic became a major trade power in the Odoneru and expanded its inland holdings in Levantia. The Republic was a major opponent of the rising [[Urcea|Julian realm]] and was the de facto leader of the [[Creagmer republics]].

The Republic was unable to effectively maintain religious unity during the Protestant reformation and lost most of its territory and autonomy after the [[Great Confessional War]]. From the late 16th century the Republic continued to exist but within the reduced borders of a city state, one mostly reliant on Urcea for grain supply and political support, and by [[1620]] it had been made a formal vassal of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. The small remnant of the Republic was formally annexed into Urcea in 1680. The territory of modern Roscampus, excepting some eastern mountainous territory, was organized in [[1688]] out of the territories acquired from the Republic over the proceeding century as the Duchy of Philaridon. In [[1895]], the Duchy was joined to peripheral parts of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] to create the province as part of the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]].
