How do you use the word aegis in a sentence?

Answer 1

I did a search hoping to find evidence of the word "aegis" being used without being embedded in prepositional phrase that begins "under the;" however, I found none. Here's an example sentence in which the word means "protection": "Popular actors travel under the aegis of bodyguards to protect them from rabid paparazzi." Here's one from Sadlier-Oxford Vocabulary Workshop (New Edition), Level H, Unit 2: "The arts and education programs of the United Nations are under the aegis of UNESCO." In the foregoing case, the word means "patronage" or "sponsorship." Another example: Jane Doe is studying under the aegis of the Empress. (This suggests she enjoys the protection of the latter, who is presumably also paying her fees).
