Description
Roman equites custodes were a specialized group within the Roman equestrian order responsible for various security and protection duties. The equestrian order, or equites, was a class of citizens known for their wealth and social standing, often second only to the senatorial class. The term “custodes” specifically refers to those tasked with guarding or protecting.
The equites custodes played a significant role in safeguarding public officials, important buildings, and the general order within the city. Their responsibilities included protecting magistrates and other high-ranking officials during public appearances and ceremonies, as well as maintaining security in critical locations such as temples, treasury buildings, and public spaces.
In essence, equites custodes were the elite guards within the equestrian class, leveraging their status and resources to perform crucial protective functions within Roman society. Their presence was vital for maintaining the stability and security of both the city of Rome and its administration.
