Did you try running a few more turns after the Imperial Palace was constructed in your rebel province?
Thanks.

I have not too much experience in Marius reform either. In that experiment imperial palace appeared in rebel province in turn 2, and I played about 50 turns until I was able to build it one in Rome. And yes, the reform was active in the very moment the building was finished.

Another experiment I had in mind (but not time to make it) was to change the internal name of the last level of government buildings, let's say to royal_palace.
Then to create a new building series called reforms, with only one level, called... guess ... imperial_palace. Would this new building trigger the Marius reform?
If I have time, I'll try it and I tell you the result. (unless you find time before me).
