Salve,<br>
<br>
Here is a reference for speculatores of the cohortes praetoriae:<br>
<br>
M.P. Speidel, Riding for Caesar, pages 33-35.<br>
<br>
The emperor Galba was nearly wounded by the spear of one of his guards, so apparently the speculatores carried weapons with sharp points.<br>
<br>
The urbaniciani had a similar structure of units as the praetorian cohorts, including organic horsemen, though to this date there is no evidence of any speculatores attached to their formations.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
