Quintus Pleminius
Quintus Pleminius was a propraetor (''legatus pro praetore'') in 205 BC. He was given command over Locri in Bruttium by Scipio Africanus after its recapture, considered the "outstanding event" in Sicilian operations that year.〔T. Corey Brennan, ''The Praetorship in the Roman Republic'' (Oxford University Press, 2000), p. 141.〕 His governorship, if it should be called that, ended in sacrilege and murder.
==Military command==
Pleminius had been in charge of the garrison at Rhegium, the geographical location of which on the "toe" of the Italian peninsula had made it a ''de facto'' part of the province of Sicily. From Rhegium he brought a force of 3,000 to take possession of Locri, and succeeded in storming one of the citadels by the aid of exceptionally tall ladders. This action led to a skirmish with Carthaginian troops, who occupied the other. Hostilities escalated when Hannibal arrived on the scene, but Locrian insiders enabled Rome to hold out until Scipio could bring troops from Messana, at which time the Carthaginians withdrew. Scipio's intervention technically exceeded the mandate of his command and crossed into the ''provincia'' of his consular colleague Crassus.〔H.H. Scullard, ''Scipio Africanus in the Second Punic War'' (Cambridge University Press, 1930),p. 170; Nigel Bagnall, ''The Punic Wars: Rome, Carthage, and the Struggle for the Mediterranean'' (St. Martin's Press, 1990), p. 273.〕
Scipio immediately rounded up the Locrians who had attempted to secede and executed them. Those who had remained loyal and aided Rome received their reward in the form of their fellow citizens' property. Scipio then sent a delegation to Rome placing the matter of Locri's political status in the hands of the Roman senate, and returned with his troops to Messana. Bruttium had been Hannibal's last stronghold in Italy, and Rome's position there was still tentative; from a diplomatic perspective, it was important to show that Rome was the preferable overlord.〔Rachel Feig Vishnia, ''State, Society, and Popular Leaders in Mid-Republican Rome, 241–167 B.C.'' (Routledge, 1996), p. 78; Bagnall, ''Punic Wars'', p. 273.〕
