Province, 117 CE
Gallia Narbonensis
Senatorial province (proconsul)Capital: Narbo
The oldest Roman territory in Gaul, organized as a province in 121 BCE — two centuries Roman by 117 CE, and it showed. Pliny the Elder called it more like Italy than a province: villas, vineyards and a Senate seat rather than a legion. Narbo (Narbonne) gave the province its name; Massilia, an older Greek colony, kept a special semi-autonomous status inside it.
