Throughout history, armed priests or soldier priests have been recorded. Distinguished from military chaplains, who are non-combatants that provided spiritual guidance to service personnel and associated civilians, these priests took up arms and fought in conflicts as combatants.

In Ancient Rome, the Salii were an order of armed priests who carried sacred shields through the city during the March festivals. Livy (59 BC–17 AD) mentions ''armati sacerdotes'' (armed priests).
