History

In the Antiquity, Lokroi Epizephyrioi was a city of the Grande Greece. The ruins of the ancient city are with a few kilometers of the current city, on the Ionian Mer. During the Second Punic War it adopts the Carthaginians. In -206, Scipion manages to subject it. The city is then occupied by the Romans, directed by the Légat Pleminius. Under its command, the Roman soldiers accumulate exactions (rapes, plunderings, etc). They divide even the crowned treasures of which that of Proserpine, which was a goddess major at Locriens. military Tribuns Roman are opposed to Flaminius, which involves combat between the soldier subjected to Pleminius and those which follow the powerful orators. Scipion returns from Messine, and condemns the powerful orators. Pleminius, free to act with its own way, makes as much as of Locriens then leave to Rome to complain near the senators. Their account moves the senators and the attitude of Pleminius irritates them as much as they send delegates to judge situation. Those, seize Pleminius and restore the order. The money of the treasure of Proserpine is returned and the Roman senate adds some to erase the crime of the Roman armies against this goddess. Locres as from this moment will be regarded as the allied one of Rome.
