The Praetorian Guard of Imperial Rome was the power behind the
throne, with the ability to make or break an emperor. As the main
body of troops in Rome, they were the emperor's instrument to
discourage plotting and rebellion and to crush unrest. The
emperor's most immediate line of defence, they could also be his
most deadly enemies. This book details the organization, dress and
history of the Praetorian Guard from the time of the late Republic
to the Guard's effective destruction at the battle of Milvian
Bridge in AD 312. Numerous illustrations vividly depict the
uniforms and weaponry of this elite fighting unit.
