Philippians 1:14

and most of my brothers and sisters in the faith have gained new boldness through my chains, and they now dare more than ever to speak (tell, preach) the word of God [dare to break the silence and act regardless of the consequences].
[The praetorium originally referred to the general's tent in a Roman military camp. The word praetor literally means "the one who goes ahead." In Paul's time, the meaning had expanded to describe both the military headquarters in Rom and in the provincial capitals. The same word, praetorium, is used for the place where Jesus is interrogated by Pilate, which is probably in the Antonia Fortress north of the temple in Jerusalem, see John 18:28. In addition to the place, the word could also refer to the soldiers who were part of the imperial bodyguard. This special force included several thousand soldiers. The number varied for each emperor, originally there were 8,000. During the reign of Emperor Nero, when Paul wrote this letter, there were about 5,000. Paul was imprisoned in Rom and was probably chained, by the hand or ankle, to a soldier on four-hour shifts. Rumors about him spread among all those in the imperial guard and even to "all the other" soldiers and servants there, see verse 13. Many seem to have become believers because "those who belong to the emperor's household" send their greetings at the end of the letter, see Phil. 4:22.
There are several connections between the praetorium and Philippi. Many retired soldiers lived in Philippi. Copper coins from this period have also been found in Philippi with the inscription Kohor prae Phil. In English, "The Praetorian Cohort in Philippi," where a cohort was a battalion consisting of 600 soldiers. This suggests that many of the retired soldiers in Philippi came from the imperial bodyguard. The news that Paul was known by the entire imperial guard in Rom must have delighted the veterans in Philippi. They probably thought of their younger colleagues who were still serving there, who had now heard the gospel.]
