| Sicilia Regarded as something of a backwater province, Silicia was nevertheless one of the first foreign acquisitions Rome made, seized following their victory in the First Punic War. Since then, Silicia has become dominated by immense plantations owned by a handful of wealthy landowners and worked by tens of thousands of slaves. The First Servile Revolt began here, as well as the Second; some worry that a Third will start here as well. As it is, the fertile lands of Sicilia produce immense wealth for their patrons; however, there is little hope of gleaning taxes from the rich, nor from slaves, so a Pro-Consulate of Silicia is often viewed as an exile.
