Saxonum (Ætas ab Brian)

Saxonum, known during its Cæsarian years as Tribus Saxones, was a province on the Cimbrian Peninsula. It's first incarnation in the Roman sphere was as a protectorate organised by Traianvs in 861(108). The need to settle the peoples on the peninsula stemmed from the Dacian king Decebalus' sitrring up of the area as he fled Traianvs' Legions, and Traianvs' took the opportunity after successfully defeating some tribes and negotiating peace with others to create this protectorate in order to procure additional auxilia and supplies as the hunt for Decebalus continued.  For his lifetime Traianvs promissed to the tribes of the peninsula continued Roman support, peace, and freedom, and this agreement was renewed by the next five Cæsars.  By the time of Cæsar Agricola, Tribus Saxones had become fairly close to Rome, and as a 'reward' for its aid in Agricola's put down of the Germania Sup. slave revolt, he formally annexed it as a province in 989(236).

Tribus Saxones would join the Senate and become known as Saxonum in 2070(1317).
