The Evocati Augusti were soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, who had obtained an honorable discharge after serving for their time, and chose to re-enlist.
Rank
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]
