Losing Praetorian equipment between Acts?

[Hobelar]

Hey there, I have a quick question that I'm hoping someone has a quick answer to.

I just finished Asia Minor today and played through to the next chapter, and when I got weapons back I realized I was lacking some items, uniques such as Apollo bow, that I had equipped on some Praetorians before the end of the first Act.

I understand that your generic Praetorians and Centurions probably found something else to do in 5 years or were retired to farmlands in Italy, but is it really intended design to lose things like Unique weapons such as the Temple of Apollo bow? Also, would it be possible to circumvent this by stripping your Praetorians naked before crossing the Rubicon, and/or equipping your Companions with these so they don't get lost? Willing to replay the ~1.5 hours of Act 1 rome just to get that bow back, among others.

You should be able to re-recruit the old, generic praetorians. When I went to the camp in Act II, the recruitment panel was filled with marked praetorians that were indeed my veterans from Act I and they had all the old gear.

Thanks, good to know; I'll get them back at the camp then
