The Principality of the Pindus is a name given to describe a self-declared Aromanian political entity in the territory of Greece. In 1941, the territory of Greece was occupied by Italy, Germany and Bulgaria during World War II. At that time, Alcibiades Diamandi, an Aromanian residing in Samarina who had earlier been the lead of the Samarina Republic, was active with an organization called in later literature with the name of the Roman Legion. As part of the activity of the organization in the areas of mainly Thessaly, it was mentioned as an intention of Diamandi to create a semi-independent entity by the name "Principality of the Pindus" or "Independent State of Pindos" or "Canton". The Roman Legion was never able to assert itself over the Aromanians whom it supposedly represented, nor over the local population until its de facto disbandment in 1943 due to the activity of the Greek Resistance and the Italian capitulation, leaving them without real support from the German command. In other sources, no name is assigned to the events of 1917 in the Pindus.
