for those of you not familiar with the picture, this is the one we´re talking about: [url=http://www.livius.org/a/1/romanempire/praet_guard.jpg" target="top]praetorians[/url]<br>
<br>
Praetorians on guard went about clothed in a toga (white or beige), their weapons hided beneath it. By appearing unarmed in this fashion, the Guard followed the old custom of forbidding armed soldiery within the pomerium.<br>
<br>
i think Tacitius mentions this, but i´m not certain..<br>
<p>Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the ark<br>
