Praetorians. Vishnyakov S.

Praetorians - a guard of the Roman Caesars, which on its own can build anyone on the throne of the Roman Empire. Just pay. In 193, A.D. After the murder of the commander, the emperor’s place goes to the public Gelvia Pertinax, the son of a freedman. Despite the fact that Pertinax owed the Praetorians half of the money promised for support, he is convinced that he would remain the emperor for a long time. Pertinax does not want to believe that the Praetorians who are accustomed to a rampant life, permissiveness and frequent gifts are already looking for a reason for rebellion.

and yet the Praetorians cannot be called traders that are only pretended to be warriors. They are capable of bold and desperate acts, nobility is not alien to them, and someone is not at all the thirst for benefit, but a disinterested love for a woman.
