He had through his father, you know, because you can trust me because, you know, I'm from the son of another Praetorian prefect. But again, it's individual ones. The cult was made of centuries and had centurions and there was a cavalry. There were lots of peace parts of these organizations, right? They're paid extremely well.

What's very significant, to go back to Augustus, one of the first things he does in 27 is to double their pay. That's the first thing he does. Not anything else. So that recognizes their importance to him personally. And one of the things that he does on his death, he gives everybody in the army a bonus, a sort of like a donative for work and service. I'm giving this money.

And the Praetorians get way more than everybody else. And of course, there's a pecking order. So the centurion of that will get much more money than the average Praetorianus. as they were called. And then the Vigilis had more money than the legionary troops did, which is quite remarkable. So the ordinary squad, the legionary, the miles, was getting really quite a low level of payback.

And one of the first things that Tiberius, of course, does, he then pays a donative to the Praetorians, recognizing exactly what his predecessors have done. And that becomes tradition.

So I'll interrupt by saying that there's a coin in the meantime. So Caligula, I actually have one. It's a brass Cistercius. It's about the size of 2p magnified by 2. A thick, heavy brass coin. And it has a banner and a toga standing on a rostrum addressing a group of troops with standards. And his arm is raised and it's ad locutio. is the slogan.

And what that means is basically to the call to arms. What I imagine, and I think this is what numismatists believe, is that this coin was probably part of the coins that were minted to be given as part of this donative, right? And what they're basically saying is, I'm your emperor, I call for your support. And of course, they're going to say yes, because he's just paid the money.

So these Adlocutio coins are very collectible. On the other side, they have a magnificent portrait of a young Caligula. Now, the coins of Claudius, who comes after Caligula, you're absolutely right. They have this interesting, they have this crenellated wall and buildings inside. And it's a strange image, in a sense, because they're actually highlighting military camp in Rome.
