Some tetrarchic standardbearers carrying elaborately decorated eagle standards, with the same type of bird, are interpreted as praetorians from Constantine's army in Speidel's <i> RAS II</i>. They are shown in a plate acccompanying either the article on the praetorians of Maxentius or the one about the link between earlier guard formations and later elite field army units. I will post the reference when I get home from work.<br>
