Praetorium

Gk. praitorion, (Mt. 27:27; Mk 15:16); sometimes "judgment hall," KJV).

The praetorium was headquarters in a Roman camp, the tent of the commander in chief. It was also the palace in which the governor or procurator of a province resided (Jn 18:28,33; 19:9; Acts 23:35).

At Jerusalem the Praetorium was the magnificent palace that Herod the Great built for himself, and that which the Roman procurators seem to have occupied whenever they came from Caesarea to Jerusalem on public business.

In Rome the Praetorium was probably the quarters built by Tiberius for the imperial bodyguard, the "praetorian guard" (Phil 1:13).
