Historical reenactment

Pretorian Guard (cohortes praetoriae) Reenactment (2011-2013)

Representation of a Praetorian guard (Cohors V Praetoria) from the 2nd half of the 1st century.

The helmet and sword are deliberately antique to express the venerability of the guard (Coolus D helmet around 30-10 BC, Gladius type Leiden).

Chain mail with shoulder doubler, oval scutum, but smaller than the republican scutum.

Belt with silver fittings.
