Due to being Evocati, soldiers who had re-enlisted after serving their 16 years, of the Praetorian Guard, they were the only Evocati allowed to use the adjective of "imperial" (augusti).[1] Unlike the regular Evocati, it appears that Evocati Augusti were hand-picked by the Emperor, rather than it being open for all.[2] Many Evocati Augusti went on to be Centurions in the regular Legions, and beyond.[3]
History
gollark: I just download anything interesting on YT etc. and all the stuff from some youtubers.
gollark: I have something like 120GB of random video stuff versus 5GB of music, 3GB of book stuff and 1GB of notes/personal pictures.
gollark: Presumably they can just run everything possible off 12V, and simplify cabling.
gollark: Boards will apparently have buck converters for 5V/3.3V.
gollark: There's that 4-pin connector for extra CPU power, which is 12V, so I assume they mostly use that.
