Quote:Interestingly, the Praetorians appear to have been "elite" only in the sense of "privileged" -- they were not a superior, battle-winning unit; they were simply entrusted with the emperor's safety (whenever it suited them).

Speaking of which, has the Praetorian ever successfully defended their Emperor from an usurper during a civil war?
