As the centuries unfolded, however, Praetorian soldiers served not only as protectors and enforcers but also as powerful political players. Fiercely loyal to some emperors, they vied with others and ruthlessly toppled those who displeased them, including Caligula, Nero, Pertinax, and many more. Guy de la Bédoyère provides a compelling first full narrative history of the Praetorians, whose dangerous ambitions ceased only when Constantine permanently disbanded them. de la Bédoyère introduces Praetorians of all echelons, from prefects and messengers to artillery experts and executioners. He explores the delicate position of emperors for whom prestige and guile were the only defenses against bodyguards hungry for power. Folding fascinating details into a broad assessment of the Praetorian era, the author sheds new light on the wielding of power in the greatest of the ancient world's empires. 606 $aPraetorian Guard$xHistory 606 $aSpecial forces (Military science)$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome$xArmy$xHistory 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D 615 0$aPraetorian Guard$xHistory. 615 0$aSpecial forces (Military science)$xHistory. 676 $a356.160937 686 $aHIS002020$aHIS027130$2bisacsh 700 $aDe la Be?doye?re$b Guy$0778580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162707503321 996 $aPraetorian$92890299 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02050oam 2200625 450 001 9910717104103321 005 20220223152913.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002529180 035 $a(OCoLC)939531003 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002529180 100 $a20160216d2016 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurm|||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChina's efforts to expand the international use of the renminbi /$fEswar S.
