Did the Praetorians have a first cohort or an eagle?

[Teodosio]

A question for all players interested in history: did the Praetorians have a first cohort or an eagle?
I was wondering, and I couldn't find any info about that. I looked on many websites, among these Wikipedia and UNRV Roman History, but I didn't find an answer. I understood that the Praetorian Guard was created by Augustus, that made 9 cohorts each of them with extended size, like of a legionary first cohort. But no references were made about their eagle.
I suspect there was a first cohort, because every legion had one, made of the best soldiers in that legion. The Pretorian Guard didn't only stay in Rome, but followed the emperors in campaign, serving as their personal legion, so they had to have their own eagle I think? Anyway I couldn't find positive evidence.
Does anyone knows something more?

I take back what I said. After looking ata what Wiki said about it, I noticed the picture of the marble sculpture.

Look at the standard above the soldier's heads.



Gentlemen, we may have found the answer!

I don't know.

I think when I take rome though, I'll have my emperor command the praetorian legion on campaign, would be fun. Usually I have my heir go with some troops with the main army of legions on their campaign.

Yes, I was looking forward to that, that would be great indeed!
But another way to make a good historical play would be to leave their command to a general (the praetorian prefect of the case). In this way they would be able to rebel; in fact, praetorian prefects were famous for murdering/betraying/selling out emperors they didn't like. Indeed, even if the preatorians followed the emperor in campaign many times, the prefect was their direct superior.
I'm really undecided about what style would be more accurate and more fun.

I am already thinking about a trait for generals: "praetorian prefect: +1 command, +1 influence, -10% standing with the Senate, -1 loyalty"

I take back what I said. After looking ata what Wiki said about it, I noticed the picture of the marble sculpture.

I looked at that picture too, and I appreciated the artwork, and I didn't notice the eagle!
So people, at this point I suppose a praetorian first cohort would be good. Anyone? What does lt1956 thinks about that?

The preatoreans are going to be a 3,000 strong bodygaurd unit for my emperor!
And if they ever rebel, I'll be screwed.
I'm slowly expanding along the coasts, when I get the reforms I'll go inland.

If your emperor is in command of them, they cannot rebel.
