Ugh, we keep making this mistake. Gotta have rotating groups of body guard, and a secret group of body guards watching the other body guards (best to ensure all body guards are in mutually exclusive secret groups watching all of the other body guards.)

The Praetorians watch the Emperor

The Imperial German Bodyguard watches the Praetorians

The Urban Cohorts watch the Imperial German Bodyguard

The Frumentarii watch the Urban Cohorts

The Emperor watches the Frumentarii

The Praetorians watch the Emperor...

@PugJesus I loved the scene in the I, Claudius series where the non-Latin speaking guard is prevented from killing Claudius after the death of Caligula. "He's the Kaiser, Heinie!"
