That's what you have the Praetor Urbanus for: the highest ranking (and hopefully best) of the Praetors who is, in terms of RTW, the permanent governor of Rome. In the early game with only few FMs and just one major army, I use the Spartan system with one Consul in Rome and one in the field, and don't assign a Praetor Urbanus.Originally Posted by Wonderland
Later with more theaters of war and more FMs, usually both Consuls are on campaign and Rome is governed by the Praetor Urbanus. He is also responsible to fight down rebells in Central Italy (the South is controlled by a Praetor Peregrinus in Taras, the North by the Praetor Gallia Cisalpina in Bononia). When I can afford it the Urbanus is also supported by a Quaestor to ensure that Rome always has a governor, even when the Praetor is fighting rebells.
