If any province(s) or diocese in the Roman Empire became the center of a new Roman empire (like the Byzantine Empire) ruled by a Roman usurper but "going native" or developing into its own tradition, which province would lead to the most interesting result, and why? If you're thinking of a pre-Christianity POD, also say what religion you think that new empire would adopt.
The secession from the empire would occur any time from 1 AD to 500 AD.
