Destiny lore error
Now I don't know if I'm the first to notice this but I'm saying this anyways.
There is an error in the destiny lore. Now I'm not a big lore reader but I am a major history buff and while reading up on something I discovered something that bungie should've noticed. The problem is with the Vault of glass. More specifically one of the unique units. More specifically praetorians. To put it simply praetorians were the elite guard of the land. They protected their leader faithfully and dutifully. Seems like the ones in VOG right? Well here's where you're wrong. Praetorians were the ROMAN emperor's guards. Meaning they should've been used for the cabal. They could've been properly used in a cabal raid. This shocked me in the fact that Bungie would miss something like this
Edit: to all saying that the Colossus and phalanx are a part of Greek mythology: they were also a part of the Romans too.
Edit: to those of you saying that the phalanx was Greek and the Testudo( I think that's how it's spelt) is Roman. They are the same thing just using different words.

2 RepliesSo how is this a lore error? The cabal may be explicitly called an empire, but ever since Quria Blade Transform deduced the sword logic, the Vex have become empyrical as well. Don't even get me started with the Hive. There have been many more empires than the Roman one as well. Bungie chose to use that aspect of Roman military for the Vex to highlight the function of those units within their cultural context. Just as they use other names to do so for other races like captains for the Fallen. It's not a lore error in any way. Unless it was explicitly mentioned that the Vex were supposed to be modeled after a different cultural empire, especially the praetorians. But that's not the case.
