Roman around Kirkham - Praetorian Guard Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

JAZZJAZZ: We have been deliberating for the last 12 months about our Caches around Kirkham and the Fylde. The Current batch of New Geocachers unfortunately leave something to be desired when compared with the previous generation.

Caches get replaced wrongly, gone are the "TFTC" and T4TC" and instead we get "Yeah", "Ooooh", etc.etc. So reluctantly we have to admit that "the fun's gone out of being a Cache Owner" - SO WE ARE ARCHIVING BOTH REMAINING SERIES !!

Today being exactly 14 years from our 1st Geocache find is quite a symbolic date to take that action.- JAZZJAZZ

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE CACHE IS WELL-HIDDEN - Thank's.

The Praetorian Guard (Latin: Praetoriani) was a force of bodyguards used by Roman Emperors. The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guards of Roman generals, at least since the rise to prominence of the Scipio family around 275 BC. The Guard was dissolved by Emperor Constantine I in the 4th century. They should not be confused with the imperial Germanic bodyguard that provided close personal protection for the late Roman emperors.





The term Praetorian derived from the hut of the commanding general or praetor of a Roman army in the field—the praetorium. They were an elite recruitment of Roman citizens and Latins. It was a habit of many Roman generals to choose from the ranks a private force of soldiers to act as guards of the tent or the person. They consisted of both infantry and cavalry.

The Cache is located slightly off the road from Treales into Kirkham. There is limited parking adjacent to the cache site.

The road gets quite busy at times due to commuting traffic - SO PLEASE TAKE CARE - ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN AND PETS !!
