He treated the provinces not as lands to be exploited but to be enriched with cities, monuments and defenses on the frontiers, improving the road system and administration. In 123 from Spain he traveled to Africa, having to quell an insurrection that arose in Mauretania, a region that still tenaciously resisted Roman civilization.
