(πραιτώριον)
Originally denoting the general’s (i.e. the praetor’s) tent in the camp (Livy, x. 33), this word came to signify the official residence of the governor of a province (Cic. in Verr. II. iv. 28, v. 35), and in post-Augustan times a palace (Juv. x. 161) or any splendid country-seat (Suet. Aug. 72, Juv. Sat. i. 75). See, further, art._ Palace.
