Pink: Senatorial provinces; legions stationed in these provinces; governed by the Senate directly
Green: Imperial provinces; governed by the Emperor; legions generally not stationed here; one exception: Egypt. Egypt did have legions stationed there but only two (very, very few); to the Emperor, it was a risk to have a province run by an individual Senator to have legions stationed there; the Senator (or the Senate) could have had that legion or legions rebel and march on Rome and the emperor; Imperial Provinces were pretty much left alone except for foreign trade taxes; internally the province sort of ran itself; minimal taxes to Rome; often less than what they were used to paying their own government or another occupying country/government;
