The evocati augusti were soldiers of the Praetorian Guard who had obtained an honorable discharge after serving for their time and chose to re-enlist.
Due to being evocati , soldiers who had re-enlisted after serving their 16 years, of the Praetorian Guard, they were the only evocati allowed to use the adjective of "imperial" (augusti).

[2] Many evocati augusti went on to be centurions in the regular legions, and beyond. [3]
