Province, 117 CE
Alpes Graiae et Poeninae
Imperial province, equestrian procuratorCapital: Axima
One of three small Alpine provinces Augustus carved out to run the mountain passes directly rather than leave them to Gaul or Italy — this one covers the Great and Little St Bernard routes. An equestrian procurator, not a senator, ran it: too small and too strategically narrow a job to hand to the Senate.
No individually mapped places in Alpes Graiae et Poeninae yet — the province still shows on the map's boundary layer.
