Excellent video, the Praetorian Guard is probably one of the most infamous units of antiquity, where they morphed from being an elite unit of soldiers who protect the Emperor, to a unit that attempted to control them. Another unit that went through a similar transition are the Janissaries. A video on the Janissaries would be amazing! Keep up the great work @Invicta

The difference is that Janissaries stayed loyal for a couple of centuries, while Praetorians were corrupted within a single generation.
@shamsishraq68312 жыл бұрын
A big difference (and often not understood) between Janissaries and the Praetorian Guard is that the latter was disloyal despite their rising living standards. Meanwhile, the Janissaries lost a lot of their real wages (hyperinflation from Spanish gold and silver), and the expensive(apparently effective, even though brutal) devshirme process was phased out in favor of local recruitment. Not just that, they were allowed to learn a trade (since their wages were not sufficient anymore) and marry, so there was not even any difference left between the ordinary troops and Janissaries other than their "elite" status. All pomp and no performance. To make matters worse, they got themselves in an unholy alliance with the local clergy and aristocracy (keep in mind that Janissaries owned land now and the recruitment process was no longer meritocratic), so any attempt to reform them was now "unIslamic" and generated undue resistance.

They literally can't, the Praetorians volatile as they are, are still an effective police force that could immediately be called upon at a moments notice. Removing them would simply leave a huge dent to the security of the city, and crippling the political security of the Augustus. Constantine got away with it because the Praetorians of his time were already pretty redundant and functionally useless to him. The city of Rome is no longer the center of the empire as it has been, Roman Emperor's since the 3rd century crisis were increasingly spending less time on the city to run round the provinces to repel barbarian attacks. Just think of it like Constantine getting rid of a tumor, The Praetorians were now unnecessary to him and a complete drain on the empires finances so he cut them off.

It’s a sad day when realizing something as simple as that makes you smarter than all the men who held the position before you. He was also smart enough to have a legion on standby while disarming the praetorians and sending them off. Which again should have just been common sense lol The praetorians should have been disbanded after the 2nd or 3rd backstab, it’s kinda like how Antigonus handled the silver shields after they brought him their own commander. You can’t trust men who were willing to backstab their former commander, because now they’ve started to believe they can get rid of their superiors whenever they don’t satisfy them

If I had to choose the absolute BEST legions ever to represent Rome, it would have to have been Caesar's 9th and 10th legions. The 9th legion always held the left flank with the 10th always holding the right flank. Both were the farthest legions from Caesar in any battle and both legions consistently performed better than any other. At Pharsalus, the 9th had to hold their ground longer than any other legion, while the 10th was responsible for rolling up Pompey's left flank and starting its rout.
@paprskomet2 жыл бұрын
It is sort of impossible to select any single legion and declared it "the best".You are talking about institution that was used for almost 1000 years and during that time it underwent several changes.
@Raz.C Жыл бұрын
And yet, caesar himself personally and quite publicly, repeatedly favoured the 10th legion. There's even a bit of a joke related to how the 10th got its name as Legio X Equestris, all because caesar continually favoured it. During the civil war, the optimates were always fearful of the tenth legion. After they were retired, they were brought back by Marc Antony and also by Augustus, too!!
@paprskomet Жыл бұрын
@@Raz.C there were other legions brought back hovewer. If 10th was regarded so very special by Caesar than it is surprising he did not entered Italy using its services although that was the most risky decision of his life. No matter what feelings Caesar might personally have for 10th legion it still does not make it something anyone can proclaim best Roman legion as if that is something that can be measured in exact terms.
@Raz.C Жыл бұрын
@paprskomet If you read his Gallic Wars books, you'll find numerous instances where he publicly singles the tenth legion out for praise. If that seems like too much work, there's probably a lot of information online able the 10th, that is more condensed, but just as illuminating.
@Raz.C Жыл бұрын
@paprskomet I think it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, in some measure. By that, I mean: the 10th was without a doubt Caesar's best performing legion (followed closely by the 9th, the other Spanish legion). Because of this, he singled out the 10th for praise, which made them try even harder, which made them perform even better, which made him praise them more, which made them try even harder... If you study all of the battles through Gaul and against migrating Germanic tribes (such as the Suebi), as well as the incursions into Germania and the civil war against the optimates, you'll always see the 10th legion smashing through enemy lines, setting attackers to rout and otherwise performing the impossible. That's not to say that every other legion was useless. Not at all. Caesar would have been fucked if that was the case. No, it's just that the 10th was the best, by far, of his amazing legions.

Standard Roman army training but there are some novelties that are attested in guard training which pioneered later developments in the regular field army.Some new ranks that we found attested much later in regular army are first mentioned in case of Praetorians and they also had significant training of archery(and specialised javeliners called lanciarii) long prior it started to be more common in regular army.
