Abstract:
This paper is concerned with a dedicatory stele of some Metilius Pudens, named a warrior of the XIX praetorian cohort in its text. According to paleographic features, it is dated to the second half of the first century A. D. The inscription was published only in 1995, but has not attracted wide attention of researchers yet. The role of Pudens in the events of 69 is unknown due to the scanty content of the stele. The article proves that Pudens could only serve in the guard of Julii-Claudii and during the civil war fought first on the side of Otho. Then, like many former Othonians, he supported

Abstract:
The assassination of Emperor Gaius (Caligula) in January 41 was the prologue to events unprecedented in the history of the Principate. For two days, Rome, seized with the idea of restoring the republic, was under the control of the consuls, the Senate, and the officers of the Praetorian Guard. By the decision of Cassius Chaerea, who was the head of the conspirators, the members of the emperor's family – his widow Caesonia and their daughter – were also killed. The executor of this order was one of the Praetorian officers, Julius Lupus, whom Josephus calls a tribune, but Suetonius calls him a c

Zaïre, by the early 1990s, by some accounts had all but vanished. One senior American diplomat described it as nothing more than the presidential vessel ‘Kamanyola’ anchored safely offshore in the Zaïre River, an élite praetorian guard compensated in hard currency, the remote marble city of Gbadolite, a shrivelled state superstructure nourished by diamond smuggling. Its perennial President, Mobutu Sese Seko, was characterised contemptuously by a French official as ‘a walking bank account in a leopard-skin cap’.

The intention of this article is to show that, when applying his tribal policies, Saddam Hussein altered the Baʿth Party's most central tenets of faith, how and why he did this, and what it meant for Iraqi society and for the ruling party. Saddam Hussein's tribal policy started soon after the party came to power in July 1968, but it went through a quantum leap in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. First, rather than eliminating the tribal shaykh as a sociopolitical power, as dictated by party doctrine, he endeavored to manipulate the shaykhs and, through a process of socialization (or “Baʿthi

Abstract:
Abstract Terrorism is an old phenomenon in human civilization. Terminologically, it comes from Latin, but this scourge also fully manifested itself in Roman civilization, throughout its history. This study seeks to fill a bibliographic gap on this criminal phenomenon, most studies of it starting with the Middle Ages, without any reference to Ancient Rome, which is unfair, especially since Rome was confronted with this phenomenon, which it defined terminologically and to which it responded with the necessary force, thus transforming its defence policy.

Abstract The name of the governor who succeeded Pertinax in Britain is unknown, but by the end of 192 the province was under the command of Decimus Clodius Albinus, another aristocratic Roman provincial, this time from North Africa. He was in post when the murder of Commodus set off a train of events that were to alter the life of the Roman world irrevocably, mostly, it must be said, for the worse. The first consequence, however, was a false dawn of reform, for Pertinax attempted too much too quickly at Rome. He treated the senatorial order with scrupulous courtesy, and restrained both the imp

Abstract The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 bc led to the rise of Augustus and ultimately to the establishment of the imperial system. In the absence of a direct successor Augustus adopted his wife Livia’s son, Tiberius, who succeeded in ad 14, to be succeeded in turn by Caligula in ad 37. Caligula started out as a responsible ruler, but seems to have detected an early conspiracy and grew increasingly paranoid and dictatorial. He was assassinated in ad 41 by members of the Praetorian guard and succeeded by his uncle Claudius. The account of Caligula written by the most important historic

Abstract:
Abstract From the time of their creation under Augustus, a variety of guard units under the direct command of the emperors or his court officials acted in a number of roles ranging from military duties to ceremonial appearances in the service of representing imperial power. As with all bodyguard units throughout history, their ceremonial nature was reflected in their appearance during state ceremonies such as accession rituals or imperial funerals, but also in their (ceremonial) equipment and military (court) costume.
