From what I've read, I don't think so. I think that it involved Julian and Claudian, so we're talking about up to the time of Nero, so that reign of five emperors. Not a lot of change. The big change is really Sejanus, who brings them all together.

And I think it goes once again to the pragmatic mindset of Augustus, is to say that theoretically you're not supposed to have armed troops in Rome, but the precedent had been set when the triumvirs, the Lepidus, Marcus Antonius, and he, they celebrated their achievements. by actually having their troops march in the city. And of course, they set the precedent.

And the great thing about the Republic, or like any Republic, is that once you've done it once, you can say, well, it's been done before. So now you have these Toga-clad men, three cohorts. Sayana brings the remainder into the city. And in addition, they're also sharing the same space with the Vigiles and Urbani. So what you have to imagine that...

Up until Tiberius, these people are very dispersed. And the ratios of people, I saw one estimate where they were saying just by looking at the numbers, you get one praetorian for, let's say, 500 Roman citizens. So they're not very obvious a lot of the time. And they're going to be parading in their field camps or whatever. And the rest are distributed around Italy.

And it's much different when you bring them into a single place. And then they become much more obvious from that point on. And you could argue the optics was partly part of maybe Sionis' game, right? That they'll say, well, you know, the palace is here and the army camp's up there.

But interesting too, the building itself is big enough to occupy a house of about 15,000 troops, but it doesn't have a principia. It doesn't have a headquarters building. And the implication of that is, well, if the headquarters is not there, where else must it be? And the probability is it's actually in the palace, in the palatium.

Where it would be, because the office has to be near the commander-in-chief, right? I mean, the bodyguard has to be able to deal with the crisis right now, so you're relying on runners and horsemen to go back and forth. And to that point, by the way, we didn't mention this, is that not only was the Praetorian cohort an infantry unit, it had cavalry too.
