 Praetorian Guard
The Praetorian Guard, ever since its consolidation at Rome in 23 CE on the orders of Emperor Tiberius, had occupied a position of direct military power over the city and her inhabitants.
Once the Guard discovered their latent power to effect a coup d'etat at will, it was far easier to abandon a promise to a fragile, mortal man than one made to the deathless idea of Rome the state.
Praetorians on guard in the imperial palace on the Palatine Hill went about their protective duties clothed in the classic Roman toga, which lent the Guardsmen an air of tradition, while the toga itself would serve to hide their belted sidearms under its voluminous woolen folds.

The term "Palatine" (in use in America over three centuries) in English and early colonial history meant a "lord" or "proprietor." In the times of the Merovingian Kings, the first Frankish dynasty in Gaul (fifth to eighth centuries) was an officer called "comespaltii," who was the master of the royal household.
And it came to pass that many of the Palatines of the Rhine, tenacious of personal liberty, as their Teutonic forefathers were, and emulating their Puritan predecessors, who a century before fled the violence of persecution in the old land, began to dream of liberty and freedom to worship God in' another land.
