| | Achaea |
 | | Athens did remain a center of philosophy and learning and would continue to be a destination for Roman aristocrats for centuries to come, but commercial capacity and political influence were reduced to nonexistence. |
 | | Over the next century and a half the ancient glory of Greece would be slowly rebuilt, culminating during the reign of Hadrian between 117 and 138 AD. |
 | | Many raw materials, like copper, lead and iron were available in Achaea, though the mining of these metals was overshadowed by other provinces, like Hispania, Britannia, Noricum, etc. Of agricultural items, major imports included olives, along with olive oil, wine and honey. |
