caldrail Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Of course Rome had a police force. The Urban Cohrots served as police and fireman. Its highly likely that the urban cohorts were originally reassigned Praetorian Guards, themselves a combination of the praetorian cohorts that guarded the generals during the late republic. If used as police, then they were very much of the military police in nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
