		However, the soldiers of II Parthica knew that their relatives at Alba could be used as hostages by the senatorial emperors, and killed the legitimate ruler of the Roman empire at Aquileia.

	Model Answer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Part of the reason was the growing number of tasks to be performed, including fire-fighting/prevention by the vigiles, riot-policing by the Urban cohorts, the provision of a cavalry guard by the equites singulares Augusti, the carrying of messages by the frumentarii.
		But the concentration of Praetorians in the capital and the establishment of legio II Parthica in the Alban hills indicate that part of the reason was to concentrate military forces around Rome.
		This is particularly true of Septimius Severus' stationing of legio II Parthica close to Rome in the aftermath of the civil war of AD 193.

		Also the low number of legionary foot guards mentioned later on, some two hundred rather than the approximately four hundred recorded for legio II Traiana in Diocletian’s reign, may mean that the elite legionaries were marching with their own subunits rather than detached for special duty.
		In the case of the legio XV the primi ordines, the centurions of the first cohort, are descibed as being grouped together with the other senior officers such as the tribuni.
		It is attested by Polyaenus for the army of Caesar, in Tacitus for a battle between legio III Gallica and Sarmatians in AD 69, in Josephus in his description of the Roman army in Judea and in Lucianus for the army of Cappadocia some thirty years after the governorship of Arrianus.
