Paul is informed that he will be allowed to face his accusers and then he is taken to Herod's Praetorium. The word praetorium could apply to where the king lived or where the soldiers lived, it came to signify any building where an imperial representative lived. The building here was probably built by Herod the Great for use as. royal residence, which had now been taken over by the Romans (which they often did). "As was common with most such official headquarters, this one had. guard-room for the confinement of prisoners" (Reese p. 835).
