In 238 BC, along with [[Sardinia]], the islands became [[Corsica and Sardinia|a province]] of the Roman Republic.{{harvb|Bertarelli|1929|p=41}} The Greeks, who built a colony in [[Aléria]], considered Corsica as one of the most backward regions of the R oman world. The island produced sheep, honey, [[resin]] and wax, and exported many slaves. Moreover, it was known for its cheap wines, exported to Rome, and was used as a place of exile, one of the most famous being the Roman philosopher [[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]].{{cite book |last1=Pais |first1=Ettore |title=Storia della Sardegna e della Corsica durante il periodo romano |date=1999 |publisher=Ilisso |isbn=8885098924 |pages=76–77 |language=it}} |
