Praetorian Guard Greaves, Brass "Praetorian Guard, Engraved Bronze, Pairs

originally created around the 3rd c. BC to act as a personal bodyguard force for generals in the Roman Republic, the Praetorians were employed in camp or in battle and would serve as a final reserve force against attacks on commanders during campaigns. During the Roman Empire, this handpicked elite unit provided protection for the emperor. As the only armed soldiers admitted within the walls of Rome, they also received a higher salary and shorter service time than standard legionaries. The Praetorian Guard was finally dissolved in the 4th c. AD by Emperor Constantine the Great.
