The Provinces



A province was a geographic area outside of Italy, ruled by Rome. Provinces were countries or regions that Rome had conquered.

Rome had many provinces. Each was valuable to Rome. Rome's provinces provided manpower, taxes, food and other resources. They also acted as a barrier between Rome and lands controlled by barbarians.

The provinces were connected to Rome by a series of Roman roads. All roads led to Rome.
