Province, 117 CE
Raetia
Imperial province, equestrian procuratorCapital: Augusta VindelicorumRoman since 15 BCE
The Alpine and upper-Danube province Tiberius and Drusus conquered in a single campaigning season in 15 BCE, opening the shortest road from Italy to the Rhine. Run by an equestrian procurator rather than a senator, it garrisoned auxiliary units, not legions — the legionary muscle sat next door in the two Germanies.
