18.17.

pro praetore, with powers of praetor. The praetor, like the consul, held the imperium or power to command; a legatus, not possessing this in his own right, might be temporarily invested with it by his commander. Labienus, and perhaps others of Caesar's lieutenants, had the imperium in their own right, by special grant.
