Sabinia Province is a province in the Empire of Makhaira. Its current governor is Agathon Agapetoclenes.

It was the original core of the Old Empire, so it also called Primus Provincia. Furthermore, the legion assigned to this province is the Legio I Primus Pilus, or First Spear, currently led by Rolf Falconius.

Centuries after the Akkermenian Empire fell, Valerian Varinius claimed leadership of the stronghold of Sabine.

Unfortunately, Fulvius Tantius Pompinus, the leader of Vevchani, a neighboring stronghold, felt he was the better choice. At the Battle of Sarrek's Mound in 2 IR, Valerian defeated Fulvius.

If Sabine had any weakness, it was access to major transportation routes. That, of course, made it a more defensible stronghold, but not necessarily a better city. However, Vevchani had a major harbor and taken together, the two cities made an immensely successful unit. Sabinian Province is not a wealthy, relative to the Empire, as it once was, but it remains productive and important.

The province has a number of special trade goods. The cedar here is prized for its especially attractive grain patterns, and it is traded across Eard. It is also one of two provinces to produce olibanum, an oil made from frankincense trees. Finally, a species of rock snail on the coast around Vevchani produces Sabinian purple, a dye especially prized in the Old Empire. While harvesting this dye has increased to the point that it's a normal trade good and not a luxury item, it still brings much wealth to the province.
