Cæsar was obliged to remove the publicans from the province of
Asia, and to establish there another kind of regulation, as we learn
from Dio, xlii. 6; and Tacitus, "Annals," i. 76, informs us that Macedonia
and Achaia, provinces left by Augustus to the people of Rome, and
consequently governed pursuant to the ancient plan, obtained to be of
the number of those which the emperor governed by his officers.
