Were Janissaries the equivalent of the Praetorian Guard?

Another #token for today's #AtoZChallenge. Like yesterday's, I really find this one #atmospheric. It is a 20 Para bridge crossing token from the Ottoman Empire: https://coinofnote.com/1913-ottoman-empire-20-para-passage-token/

Lettering: ۲۰ پارة كوپرى مروريى سى Unabridged legend: 20 Para Köprü müruriyesi Translation: 20 Para Bridge toll
AramcoWorld have several images of the Galata bridge as it would have looked in 1890, before this token was issued but likely looking very similar.

Did you know that the first modern standing #army revolted?

During the 14th c. the #Ottomanempire found itself in need of #soldiers. The easiest recruits were children of Christian slaves who were turned #Moslem.

These boys were 7-14 years old & would become proper soldiers, known as Janissary, at age 24.

They had to remain isolated from society, #poor & #celibate.

Around 1446 did they start to demand to be paid.
By 1566 marriage was allowed.

By 1862, they were gone.
