Historical background
The name recalls the late Roman diocese of Oriens; with Alexandria and Thebes, the province in the game covers Egypt's Nile valley. After the battle of Actium, Octavian annexed Egypt in 30 BC and kept it as an imperial domain that senators could enter only with permission. Egyptian grain fed Rome, and Alexandria with its library was the second city of the empire.
