25.  The question whether Greece did or did not become a Roman province in 608, virtually runs into a dispute about words.  It is certain that the Greek communities throughout remained “free” (C.  I. Gr. 1543, 15; Caesar, B. C. iii. 5; Appian, Mithr. 58; Zonar. ix. 31).  But it is no less certain that Greece was then “taken possession of” by the Romans (Tac.  Ann. xiv. 21; 1 Maccab. viii. 9, 10); that thenceforth each community paid a fixed tribute to Rome (Pausan. vii. 16, 6; comp.  Cic.  De Prov.  Cons. 3, 5), the little island of Gyarus, for instance, paying 150 —­drachmae—­ annually (Strabo, x. 485); that the “rods and axes” of the Roman governor thenceforth ruled in Greece (Polyb. xxxviii. l. c.; comp.  Cic.  Verr. l. i. 21, 55), and that he thenceforth exercised the superintendence over the constitutions of the cities (C.  I. Gr. 1543), as well as in certain cases the criminal jurisdiction (C.  I. Gr. 1543; Plut.  Cim. 2), just as the senate had hitherto done; and that, lastly, the Macedonian provincial era was also in use in Greece.  Between these facts there is no inconsistency, or at any rate none further than is involved in the position of the free cities generally, which are spoken of sometimes as if excluded from the province (e. g.  Sueton.  Cats., 25; Colum. xi. 3, 26), sometimes as assigned to it (e. g.  Joseph.  Ant.  Jud. xiv. 4, 4).  The Roman domanial possessions in Greece were, no doubt, restricted to the territory of Corinth and possibly some portions of Euboea (C.  I. Gr. 5879), and there were no subjects in the strict sense there at all; yet if we look to the relations practically subsisting between the Greek communities and the Macedonian governor, Greece may be reckoned as included in the province of Macedonia in the same manner as Massilia in the province of Narbo or Dyrrhachium in that of Macedonia.  We find even cases that
