The Anatolic Theme (, Anatolikon [thema]), more properly known as the Theme of the Anatolics (Greek: , thema Anatolikōn) was a Byzantine theme (a military-civilian province) in central Asia Minor (modern Turkey). From its establishment, it was the largest and senior-most of the themes, and its military governors (stratēgoi) were powerful individuals, several of them rising to the imperial throne or launching failed rebellions to capture it. The theme and its army played an important role in the Arab–Byzantine wars of the 7th–10th centuries, after which it enjoyed a period of relative peace that lasted until its conquest by the Seljuk Turks in the late 1070s.

  • The village of Abrostola was located in the Anatolic Theme. In the reign of the iconoclastic Emperor Constantine V, a farmer was murdered. Instead of informing the strategos of the theme, which would entail the destruction of the icons which Abrostola was proud, the villagers requested Father George to investigate the killing.
