PRAETORIUM - P>@ - (in the Revised Version translated palace ,) kjv@Matthew:27:27; kjv@John:18:28 kjv@John:18:33 kjv@John:19:3) the headquarters of the Roman military governor, wherever he happened to be. In time of peace some one of the best buildings of the city which, was the residence of the proconsul or praetor, was selected for this purpose. Thus at Caesarea that of Herod the Great was occupied by Felix, kjv@Acts:23:35) and at Jerusalem the new palace erected by the same prince was the residence of Pilate. After the Roman power was established in Judea, a Roman guard was always maintained in the Antonia. The praetorian camp at Rome, to which St. Paul refers, kjv@Philemon:1:13) was erected by the emperor Tiberius, acting under the advice of Sejanus. It stood outside the walls, at some distance short of the fourth milestone. St. Paul appears to have been permitted, for the space of two years, to lodge, so to speak, "within the rules" of the praetorium, kjv@Acts:28:30) Although still under the custody of a soldier.

Praetorium @ The Greek word (praitorion) thus rendered in kjv@Mark:15:16 is rendered "common hall" kjv@Matthew:27:27, marg., "governor's house"), "judgment hall," kjv@John:18:28 kjv@John:18:33, marg., "Pilate's house", 19:9; kjv@Acts:23:35), "palace" kjv@Philippians:1:13). This is properly a military word. It denotes

(1) the general's tent or headquarters;

(2) the governor's residence, as in kjv@Acts:23:35 (R.V., "palace"); and

(3) the praetorian guard (
See PALACE), or the camp or quarters of the praetorian cohorts kjv@Acts:28:16), the imperial guards in immediate attendance on the emperor, who was "praetor" or commander-in-chief.
