Donativum Donativum ( plural " donativa " ) was the name given to the gifts of money dispersed to the soldiers of the Roman legion s or to the Praetorian Guard by the Roman Emperors . The purpose of the " donativa " varied : some were expressions of gratitude for favors received , and others outright bribery for favors expected in return . " Donativa " were normally rendered at the beginning of each new emperor ' s reign . During the 2nd and 3rd centuries , this form of bribery became a crucial part of any successful ruler in Rome . Such was the case with many of the soldier - emperors from 235 to 248 . The Praetorian Guard , intimate to the emperor ' s person , was an even greater threat to security . The cohorts stationed in Rome were difficult to appease and quick to commit assassination . The " donativum " thus provided a terrific way to purchase the Guards ' support and loyalty . Emperor Augustus bequeathed the Praetorian Guard a substantial sum in his will , but it was not until Tiberius ' reign that gifts of money were thought mandatory . The Praetorian Guard received such gifts for turning a blind eye when Sejanus , their prefect , fell from power . Each Praetorian Guard received 10 gold pieces for refraining from defending Sejanus ' s . In 41 , after the assassination of Caligula , the Guard supported Claudius , and after a brief time the Senate learned that the Guard had installed him on the throne . Claudius gave them 150 gold pieces , or some 3 , 750 denarii , to which the senators ' 100 sesterces were added annually to commemorate Claudius ' s accession . The inevitable result of the custom of the " donativum " was the Praetorians ' auctioning of the Empire to Didius Julianus in 193 .

Although the logistics function can be traced before the earliest days of the Air Service , when the Equipment Division of the U . S . Army Signal Corps established a headquarters for its new Airplane Engineering Department at McCook Field , Dayton , Ohio , a World War I experimental engineering facility , the functional antecedents of Air Force Logistics Command ( AFLC ) usually are not traced beyond October 15 , 1926 , when the " Materiel Division " was set up near Dayton , Ohio . The Materiel Division , controlled by the Office of the Chief of the Air Corps ( OCAC ) , possessed many characteristics of a major command . It brought together four major functions performed previously by three organizations : research and development ( R & D ) , procurement , supply , and maintenance . On December 11 , 1941 , with United States newly engaged in World War II , these four functions were divided between two organizations . The " Materiel Command " assumed responsibility for R & D and procurement , and the " Air Service Command " assumed the supply and maintenance functions . Placed under " AAF Materiel and Services " in July 1944 , the two commands were subsequently abolished on August 31 , 1944 . The functions of research and development and logistics were operated separately during World War II until they were reunited for several years in the late 1940s under Air Materiel Command . Then , in 1950 , research and development were split off into a separate organization , the Air Research and Development Command . In 1961 , Air Materiel Command became the Air Force Logistics Command , while the Air Research and Development Command gained responsibility for weapon system acquisition and was renamed the Air Force Systems Command . On July 1 , 1992 , the Air Force Logistics Command and Air Force Systems Command were reintegrated to form the new Air Force Materiel Command .

In anime and manga the dōtanuki is referred to as a type of fictional sword . Dotanuki School . The Dotanuki school evolved in Higo Province with its ancestry going back to the famous " Enju Kunimura " . Enju Kunimura founded the Higo Enju school in approximately 1305 . Kunimura was born in Yamato province to the swordsmith Hiromura . He moved to Yamashiro province and became a student of Rai Kuniyuki , and later married Kuniyuki ' s daughter . Kunimura then moved to Higo and founded the Enju school . There are only six blades by Kunimura known to exist . The Dotanuki School emerged in the small Higo village of Dotanuki in the mid - 1500s , following the decline of the Higo Enju school in the latter part of the Koto period . The Dotanuki school founder is said to be Dotanuki Masakuni , he was called Oyama Kozuke no Suke and his original signature was Nobuyoshi . The famous general Kato Kiyomasa honored masakuni with one character of his name , and form that point onward Nobuyoshi was known as Masakuni . However , the majority of his works are only signed " Dotanuki Kozuke no Suke " , such as the sword presented here . Dotanuki swords quickly gained great popularity among the warrior class due to their superior cutting ability . The Dotanuki smiths cared little for aesthetics , but instead focused on strength , sharpness , and durability in the field . They were renowned for producing blades which would endure the harshest conditions , the most difficult battle field situations and survive to return to battle day after day , year after year . One of the most feared , respected and ruthless of Hideyoshi ' s Generals was Kato Kiyomasa . General Kiyomasa was known as a ferocious and ruthless fighter , a true warrior . So intense was General Kiyomasa that he was called " Kishokan " or " Devil General " . When Hideyoshi sent General Kiyomasa to lead the invasion of Korea the General chose Dotanuki smiths to accompany him to ensure adequate swords could be produced in the field . Fictional references . The dōtanuki has appeared in several entertainment outlets . Ogami Ittō in the manga " Lone Wolf and Cub " had a dōtanuki as his principal weapon . The katana named " Gassan " in Soulcalibur II and Soulcalibur III is a dōtanuki . " Gassan " is wielded by Mitsurugi in Soulcalibur II . Many works of historical fiction write " dōtanuki " with different characters as 胴田貫 ( roughly “ torso – paddy – penetrate ” ) , with a folk etymology claiming it ’ s because , when used to cut the torso of a cadaver lying down in a paddy , the sword would pierce right through it and into the field . This name and story apparently originated in fiction , as they are not found in any historical manuals or catalogues .
