Learning about the Lansquette Guards, KAPB wanted to post images of them with some information on who they are.

Praetorian is the name of the Roman Spartian. It is throught these guards that the emperors of Rome were chosen. When an overthrow had taken place, a new order was to be set into motion, or
an war advancement was prepared the taller guards would be there to handle matters.

The smaller version called 'Lansquette' are the Victorian Guard. Lansquette likewise

are Roman Spartan Soldiers, but more like watchmen. The midget version work as Vatican stewards who patrol the Vatican hallways with the tourists, as well as with visiting diplomats.
The midgets look a bit like pirates. Where the taller Praetorian Guards look like robots of a sort.
