Lycaonia had all the Iconian plain; but Isauria began as soon as the foothills were reached.
The war against the pirates of Sicily and Isauria was not only very important in itself, but still more so in its consequences.
Pisidia, part of which had hitherto been included in one province with Isauria, was also detached, and made to include Iconium.
In compensation Isauria received the eastern part of Pamphylia.
Isauria and Egypt he visited in the character of a conqueror, Gaul in the character of a deliverer.
