In 312 AD following his victory in Milvian Bridge Constantine I now sole Emperor of the West he ordered the disband of the Praetorian Guard (because they had fought against him under Maxentius) and demolished the Castra Praetoria...
WI Constantine didnt disband the Praetorian Guard? or follow the example of Septimius Severus and form a new Praetorian Guard with troops from his own Legions loyal to him?
By having a Praetorian Guard devoted to him h could easily attacked and crushed Licinius in the East without worrying for an invasion in Italian soil...
Any thoughts?
