Battle of Tarentum (209 BC)
The Battle of Tarentum of 209 BC was a battle in the Second Punic War. The Romans led by Quintus Fabius Maximus recaptured the city of Tarentum, that had betrayed them in the first Battle of Tarentum in 212 BC. This time the commander of the city turned against the Carthaginians, and supported the Romans.
==The Siege==
According to Plutarch, a Greek biographer, Fabius Maximus won the city of Tarentum through treachery. One of the soldiers in Fabius's army had a sister in Tarentum who was the lover of the Bruttian commander Hannibal had left in charge of the city. The Bruttian was swayed to the Roman side and agreed to help the Romans gain entry into Tarentum. However Plutarch also writes that another story is that it was Fabius's Bruttian mistress who seduced the commander over to the Roman side when she found out that he was a fellow country man.
Fabius Maximus drew Hannibal away from Tarentum by sending the garrison of Rhegium to plunder the lands of the Bruttians and to take Caulonia. He had hoped that Hannibal would go to aid the Bruttians and this is exactly what happened.
On the sixth day of the siege it was arranged that the commander would help the Romans gain entry to Tarentum. Fabius take a cohort to the appointed place while the rest of the army attacked the walls luring the cities defenders away. The Bruttian gave the signal and Fabius and his men scaled the walls and took the city. (Plutarch does not mention what the Bruttian Commander does to aid the Romans)
