Quintus Minucius Thermus

Quintus Minucius Thermus (died 188 BC) was a consul of the Roman Republic in 193 BC.

In 202, Minucius Thermus may have been the military tribune named Thermus who served in Africa under Scipio Africanus. As a tribune of the plebs in 201, Thermus and his fellow tribune Manius Acilius Glabrio opposed the desire of Cornelius Lentulus to have Africa as his consular province. Thermus was also responsible for legislation confirming peace with Carthage after the Second Punic War. His actions may reflect on the earlier connection with Scipio, whose imperium in Africa was extended into 201 so he could finalize the treaty, as a result of which he received the cognomen Africanus.

Minucius Thermus was curule aedile in 198. From 197, he served on the three-man commission (triumviri coloniis deducendis) in charge of establishing colonies located at the mouths of the Volturnus and the Liternus (in Campania), at Puteoli, Castrum Salerni, and Buxentum.

As praetor in 196, he was assigned to Hispania Citerior ("Nearer Spain"). He was possibly acting as proconsul when his military success at Turda in Spain, where he defeated the Turboletae people, gained him the honor of a triumph.
