The
most characteristic symbol of the Praetorian Guard is the Scorpion. It
appeared on their standard and on their shields and sometimes helmets. Some
of the symbols adopted by individual legions derived from astrological
birth-signs of their founders. The Scorpion is derived from the Praetorian's
Second founder, Tiberius. The pendant is 34mm tall and is manufactured in traditional
lead-free pewter and gold plated with either a red or blue stone. Supplied on a
wax cord.
The
card is colour depicting a mosaic of Oceanus on the front and historical information on the back.
