The Ancient Roman Vigiles Urbani

The Roman Emperor Augustus wanted to protect Rome from danger. 1 So, Augustus created
the Vigiles Urbani, the ‘watchmen of the city’ to do these two jobs. 2 The Vigiles, however,
received pay and could earn Roman citizenship after six years of work.

The Vigiles were divided into groups. Each one worked in a different part of the city. They carried
tools and supplies on carriages pulled by horses. The carriages also had pumps and water tanks in
case of fire. 3 This was in case a citizen needed medical help.

But the Vigiles did not only fight fires and treat injuries. 4 Especially at night, they needed to
watch the streets for burglars and vandals. They also looked for escaped slaves, and helped deal
with people who disturbed the peace in the streets.

A Some Vigiles were even trained as doctors.

B They ensured that citizens kept a supply of water on an upper floor.
C They also served as the city’s police force.
D Up until then, slaves had always done them.
E He had decided that Rome needed professional fire fighters and an organised police force.
