1997 -09 -14 )Palace Used now only of royal dwellings ,
although originally meaning simply (
as the Latin word palatium ,
from which it is derived ,
shows )
a building surrounded by a fence or a paling .
In the Authorized Version there are many different words so rendered ,
presenting different ideas ,
such as that of citadel or lofty fortress or royal residence (
Neh .

Dan .

It is the name given to the temple fortress (
Neh .

and to the temple itself (

It denotes also a spacious building or a great house (

Solomon '
s palace is described in 1 Kings 7 :
1 -
12 as a series of buildings rather than a single great structure .
Thirteen years were spent in their erection .
This palace stood on the eastern hill ,
adjoining the temple on the south .
In the New Testament it designates the official residence of Pilate or that of the high priest (
Matt .

Mark 14 :

John 18 :

In Phil .

13 this word is the rendering of the Greek praitorion ,
meaning the praetorian cohorts at Rome (
the life -
guard of the Caesars ).
Paul was continually chained to a soldier of that corps (
Acts 28 :
16 ),
and hence his name and sufferings became known in all the praetorium .
The "
soldiers that kept "
him would ,
on relieving one another on guard ,
naturally spread the tidings regarding him among their comrades .
Some ,
however ,
regard the praetroium (
q .
v .)
as the barrack within the palace (
the palatium )
of the Caesars in Rome where a detachment of these praetorian guards was stationed ,
or as the camp of the guards placed outside the eastern walls of Rome .
"
In the chambers which were occupied as guard -
rooms ,"
says Dr .
Manning , "
by the praetorian troops on duty in the palace ,
a number of rude caricatures are found roughly scratched upon the walls ,
just such as may be seen upon barrack walls in every part of the world .
Amongst these is one of a human figure nailed upon a cross .
To add to the '
offence of the cross ,'
the crucified one is represented with the head of an animal ,
probably that of an ass .
Before it stands the figure of a Roman legionary with one hand upraised in the attitude of worship .
Underneath is the rude ,
misspelt ,
ungrammatical inscription ,
Alexamenos worships his god .
It can scarcely be doubted that we have here a contemporary caricature ,
executed by one of the praetorian guard ,
ridiculing the faith of a Christian comrade ."
