Roman Governor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1880 words) |
 | In the provinces with a significant legionary presence, the governor's second-in-command was usually a quaestor, a man elected in Rome and sent to the province to serve a mainly financial role, but who could command the military with the governor's approval. |
| However, provinces that lay on the Republic’s boarders, thereby requiring a permanent military garrison, were governed by proconsuls who had served a term as consul the year before their governorship. |
| However, in provinces with more than one legion, each legion was commanded by its own legate with praetorian imperium, while the province as a whole was commanded by a legate with consular imperium, who had general command over the entire army stationed there, as well as administering the province as a proconsul. |
