The number of provinces of the Roman Empire varied over time. Under the Republic there number of provinces reached 15. Under the period of the Principate (from the rule of Augustus to that of Numerian, 27 BC to 284 AD) the number had reached 39. Emperor Diocletian (ruled 285-305 AD) increased the number to 122 by subdividing the existing provinces. Constantine the great (ruled 324 to 337 AD) reduced thenumberslightly. There were also changes in the structure and number of the provinces in the late Empire.
In 133 BC Rome had six provinces on 3 different continents: Sicillia (Sicily, 241BC) Sardinia et Corsica (241 BC), Hispania Citerior (Nearer Spain, 197 BC), Hispania Ulterior (Further Span, 197 BC), Macedonia (Greece, 146 BC), Africa (the former home territory of Carthage in Tunisia and western Libya, 146 BC).
In 133 BC more acquired a seventh territory, the kingdom of Pergamon, but this was turned into a province later. King Attalus of Pergamon bequeathed his kingdom (in western Turkey). However, Rome did not annex it. In 131 BC Abdroninus, who claimed to be the illegitimate son of king Eumenes II, the father of Attalus, took advantage of this to claim the throne and named himself Eumenes III. He defeated the arm of one of the two Roman consuls in 131 BC. He was defeated in 130 BC. It was formally annexed in 129 BC
In 133 BC Rome also had control over an eighth territory in 167 BC, Illyricum, on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. However, this was a protectorate, not a province. In 59 BC Caesar was given the governorship of Illyricum. However, this did not make it formally a province. It became a province formally after Octavian's wars in Illyricum in 35-33 BC

No. The term "Empire" only applies to Rome between the periods 44BC - 1453 AD. It was, however, a republic, for 500 years before 44BC, and did control several territories during that time, with an area of 1,950,000 km2 (752,899 sq mi). If you look up the definition of "empire" in the dictionary, you will find that Rome actually was an empire in 133 BC. There is a mistaken belief that the empire began with Augustus. Historians never refer to the reign of Augustus and those after him as the empire, they use the proper name, the principate.
