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.

So you see some coins where they talk about decursio, which is a sort of military riding event, and that's where these cavalrymen would have been part of that. So you look at that from the point of view of evolution and change. What we can infer is that Augustus formalized the organization and Tiberius' band and Sir Janus then took it to the next and concentrated it into one place.

And that fundamental change changed the destiny of the guard completely. Because in a sense, and another thing just occurred to me, is that when these people are dispersed, they don't know their strength. But when you bring them into the same building and you go, gee, we're all this many people. And this was interesting. There was a revolt in Illyricum.

the Broice, one of the tribes, and Dizediades with the other, there were two chieftains who were preparing for one of Tiberius' campaigns into Pannonia to deal with Marboduus, who was a big threat, or at least in their eyes he was. He was living in Bohemian Bohemia in that time. So they bring together all of these cohorts of local Illyrican troops, and they realize how many there are.

And the way that the Roman historians write this is they say... We're defending their stuff. Why are we defending ours? There's so many of us and they rebel. So you can imagine there's an angle you could look at by bringing the Praetorians all into one place because most of them have been spread out in other places. They begin to realize we have power.

You're going to challenge it? I am, yes. Go for it. This is why history is interesting. I think there's a misconception in a sense that, and I hinted at it earlier, that the Somehow that there's this idea of emperor, right? Emperor comes from imperator, which simply means commander.

And it was an old idea going back into the Republican days where the citizen soldiers would acclaim their commander for bringing them victory and they would thump the sky and say imperator and they'd say our way and so on. And they would take that title and Imperator would be added after the name of the person. So, in fact, there are coins of Marcus Antonius Imperator.

And you're thinking, but he was an emperor. No, that's a different thing. And, in fact, what was clever in the case of Augustus, if we keep using his name, is from around about the middle 30s BC, he cunningly takes the name Imperator as his first name. That has not been done before. So what he's cheekily doing, he's actually calling himself Commando Julius Caesar as his official name.
