The Centurion who Fought Alone Against the Praetorian Guard - Historical Curiosities

What’s the point having praetorians as the emperors “loyal” bodyguards when they are the ones that usurped most of the emperors.

The Romans nailed it with their uniforms, timeless.

Before the Samurai Warriors of old Japan where they live on their Bushido code that Honor is above one’s life! Duty is as heavy as a mountain but Death is as light as a feather! Battle cry of a Kamikaze Pilot there is Sempronius Desus a Roman Centution 69AD worth saluting and remembering k! Sic Semper Est! Give me freedom or Give me Death! K

A traitor lives for 3 months but a man most worthy of mention endures for thousands of years. Such is the value of true honor!

Maximus?

That 1 in 10.000 ni**er (Django Unchained)

I hate the AI generated art as much as this guy defends his emperor.

He is a man of focus commitment and sheer will something that most people know nothing about they call him the last centurion 😂😂😂😂😂

Some people are built different and they can't change their mind even they know that there is no chance to win.

Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

And it seems the other praetorian guards are the only ones who have died the second death. Good.

Yes now the constitutional republic is dying again because we are not brave anymore.

A pity he didn't have the 100 soldiers under his command with him at the assassination.

loyalty for life! I need men like me, I'm a alone wolf, all my exfriends are back stabbers.... brotherhood is dead! we need to revive it.! NOW!

And they covered him in pitch and threw him down the Grand Canyon.

50 Cent once wrote a song about this guy.. it goes.."

Look! N*ggas is shook..-Sempronius- fears no man, swing swords like Conan"...

Or so it goes...ahem.

Bravery and Loyalty !! ☝️💪💯✊🤛🤜
Glad those rats got their punishment!!
Always watch for rats !! ☠️💀💥👊

And we are here, almost 2000 years later, praising his loyalty and courage.

Now that's what I called a real honorable badass who goes down fighting for his beliefs!

“Courage is fighting the kingdom that enslaves you no matter their armies outnumber you ten thousand to one. You know nothing of Courage! Honor is resisting a tyrant when others suckle and grow fat on the hypocrisy he feeds them. You know nothing of Honor!

From 40k. Felt appropriate

Even though he intact did not agree with the empowers life he was loyal to his vow to protect the emporer

🙏⚔

After killing his rivals & that brave Sempronius, Otho got to be an Emperor for only 3 months?! For a supposedly fair & charismatic leader like Otho, Otho's wife betrayed him (because she can't say 'no' to Emperor Nero, who stole her away from Otho); and his close friend Galba overlooked him in favor of another nobleman to rule Rome... can't help but wondered if Otho wasn't meant for the top seat of power in that turbulent Year of 4 Emperors' time - the Gods & Karma just won't let him.

Such a mad lad though.

I think they tried to impeach his name after his death due to his defence of Galba but then the most rigorous enquiries found that Galba did not even know Sempronius was in the Praetorian guard and that Sempronius had never received any favour from Galba.

Man became the first version of the Optimus Prime "I'm still standing" meme.

Truly a great man worthy of honour and glory

If true I wish this man survived to have children that became kings and queens or even wealthy members in the empire due to the loyalty of their father.

Don't make them like they use to.

Didn't one of Caesar's assassin was this Galba's ancestor? Yeah, karma's a female dog...

Song?

When the praetorians hasnt get bribed for 1 day: surprise tom face

I can picture Cassius Deo looking like Ronnie James Dio, but in a toga 🤘

Dang bro this Minecraft Manhunt is crazy

Now, I choose this guy to be a Varangian Guard

I would give so much to travel back in time and watch that actual fight happening before my eyes

AI slop

With all these great soldiers, generals, emperors. I fear, that Rome should’ve lasted 2 centuries if not 3 centuries more before the fall of rome

"You're outnumbered 20 to 1. You can't fight off an Empire let alone the whole of the Praetorian Guard. Come, join us and turn on your already doomed Emperor."

"No 🗿"

It's treason then.

Ah, that's why there's a random Chad pretorian in one of the Unbiased History of Rome episodes

So he died like an idiot and the people he tried to protect still wound up assassinated... What is there to remember here, other than don't be that guy...

I like to imagine the historian who was probably following them around wrote everything down probably behind a curtain

never got a tatoo im nearly 50 Sempronius Densus is stuck in my head since i first heard of his actions...

The only praetorian guard that actually did his job 🗿✝️

You do the right thing because its right, not because its easy

The only man in that guard worthy to be called a man

Insane the one role of praetorian guard was to guard the true emperor and they couldn’t even do it honestly
