The Praetorian Guard (Latin: PRÆTORIANI) was a force of bodyguards used by Roman Emperors. Before being appropriated for the use of the Emperors' personal guards, the title was used for the guards of Roman generals, at least since the rise to prominence of the Scipio family around 275 BC. The Guard was dissolved by Emperor Constantine I in the fourth century AD.

    Most likely. The silk road's used by European and Middle Eastern civilisations. Thing is, when Rome and Parthia was in power, they became flaming rivals therefore it is hard for Romans to go through the silk road, plus it takes longer than simply traveling to China itself by sea. But yes, Asian goods did end up in Rome and other major cities within the Empire until 476, when only the Eastern half is traded with Asia. After Rome's absolute fall in 1453, you get 'European Imperialism'.

  • @WeAreTheRiot IV read they interacted by the silk road,asian goods ended up in ROME????

    You're welcome. Just remember to not take it for granted when you use the toilet or write notes on a sheet of paper.

  • @WeAreTheRiot haha point taken. good information... thanks!!

  • @VanillaSnow23

    Just imagine a world without them and without.......

    Rome: Roads, sewers, toilets, socks, Due process (Innocent until proven otherwise), aqueducts, its architecture, Spoon, fire engine, central heating, Ballistic, dams, bath tubs, and public health care.

    China: Herbal medicines, movable type, compass, gunpowder, paper currency, paper (Romans would use papyrus and animal skin), Bellows, Chop Sticks, Window Crank, Crossbow, Domino, hand cannon, land mine, and waterwheels.

  • @WeAreTheRiot Was ancient Rome and ancient China both great ancient civilizations? Innovation/Technology wise?

  • @VanillaSnow23

    Roman and Chinese merchants did live between the nations though, one came back with the description of society, culture, politics, history and art of what the Roman/Chinese people look like. The Romans crave silk while Chinese want metals and to some extent, olive/grape products. Their biggest contact was after 10K Romans were displaced by Parthians. Chinese generals described these soldiers as Caucasian and they fight in a "Fish formation". These Romans today live in Liqian.

    Both civilisations are somehow interested in each other, but because of the enemies of Rome and China are right in between the two empires, there is not much contact as with the Romans and the Southern Indians. Considering China at the time is very isolationist, they only came into contact with the merchants. Under the Han dynasty, the emperor sent 9 envoys towards 'Da Han' (Other Han), only one returned hinting either they lacked enough food, attacks by Persians, etc.

    i bet it was like dammit them himalayas are in the way ah hell lets just trade with them, lol.

    but seriously i dont think they had much intrest in them, but i believe they did have trade goods going back in forth.

  • what did the Romans think of Chinese?
