There is also a word Tutores, but I think of that as someone who protects or guards a person rather than an empire. There wasn't really a distinction in ancient Greek between 'kingdom' and 'empire'. How about Phylakes tes basileias (Φυλακες της βασιλειας), meaning roughly Guardians of the realm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silentium 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2006 I don't know what you mean exactly with "guardian", but I would say "Custodes Imperii"..a more comprehensive term, semantically speaking (in my opinion). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Custodes is the best word in this case i think ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
