The Praetorian Guard was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman army that served as personal bodyguards and intelligence agents for the Roman emperors. In 27 BC, after Rome's transition from republic to empire, the first emperor of Rome, Augustus, designated the Praetorians as his personal security detail. For three centuries, the guards of the Roman emperor were also known for their palace intrigues, by which influence upon imperial politics the Praetorians could overthrow an emperor and then proclaim his successor as the new emperor. Fortis Foruna Audiuvat! Vires acquirit eundo. Faber est suae quisque fortunae, Aut viam inveniam aut faciam, Sapere aude. Memento mori, Memento vivere, Carpe diem! Cogito, ergo sum, Ad astra per aspera. Sic vita est. ​Grandescunt aucta labore. Sic infit. Ad meliora! Fortis Foruna Audiuvat! Sapientia potentia est! Ad victoriam! ​Fortune favors the bold! We gather strength as we go. Every man is the artisan of his own fortune. I will either find a way or make one. Dare to know. Remember that you are mortal, Remember to live, Seize the day! I think, therefore I am, Through adversity to the stars. Such is life. With hard work, all things increase and grow. So it begins. ​Towards better things! Fortune favors the bold! Wisdom is power! To victory!
