Abstract
In the late Republic the consular provincia of Italy no longer existed. In its place was the province of Cisalpine Gaul: Roman territory for more than a century, relatively peaceful and studded with citizen communities. Yet it was also under the control of a Roman governor with imperium. Analysis of the provincial fasti shows the Senate almost always sent consular rather than praetorian governors. It is argued this was to avoid distorting the consular elections by allowing one prospective candidate to exert a governor’s influence over a sizeable part of the electorate.
