Praetorian Guard
Emperor Augustus bequeathed the Praetorian Guard a substantial sum in his will, but it was not until the reign of Tiberius that gifts of money were thought to be mandatory. The Praetorian Guard received such gifts for turning a blind eye when Sejanus, the Praetorian Prefect, fell from power. Each Praetorian Guard received 10 gold pieces in return for not defending Sejanus.
