So the second function they can serve is that if there is an insurrection in Italy, he has personal bodyguard that can deal with it. And that hints at the way the Praetorian Guard will be used in future. So I think what that's very interesting is you start to see these peace parts of the Roman army serving different functions and their pay reflects that.

So on the edges, you've got the professional citizen soldiers supplemented by professional non-Romans called the auxiliaries. And then you have the fleets, which are associated with those by and large. And then within Italy, which is supposed to be a non-militarized area. Don't forget, that's what Julius Caesar got into trouble about when he crossed the Rubicon famously with him.

And that causes a civil war. So he was always mindful of the need to actually keep the military units out of sight. But yet people seem to coalesce around the idea it's OK for him to have a bodyguard. And they were always there to help him. And normally what they were doing was guarding his house. All right, so his house on the palatium, hence we get palace. We're here at Fishbourne Roman Palace.

This is the palatium, if you like. Has a central door and it has, I think there's a couple of, I forget, the laurel trees. And there's a couple of the decorations which he's been awarded. But you can imagine there's a contingent of troops probably in the streets as well. And these people over time begin to control who comes in and out of the building.

So now you can see that beyond being a bodyguard, they begin to have this controlling. And I mentioned earlier the salutatio. So he would have had a stream of visitors coming in. There will be people that are friends of the family and obviously have access rights. There will be people who are clients of his. He's the patron.

And effectively, he becomes the patron of the Roman state, if you look at it that way. And there are people who want to appeal to him to push a particular case and have him respond to certain legislation and so forth. And over time, you can see the Praetorian Guard and whoever's in charge of it can have a very powerful role in the day-to-day running of the nation.

Is that fair to say? I think there's a couple of dimensions. So if we see them first and foremost as a personal bodyguard and also, by the way, for the members of the family. And I think what we have to imagine is that when, for example... I guess it would be his adopted son's son, so that would be his adopted nephew, Drusus the Younger.
