Praetorian Warrior

Welcome to Praetorian Boot Camp, my name is Servius Augustus Helveticus and I will be your Praefectus Castrorurm (Camp Commander).

To become a Praetorian you will be expected to demonstrate knowledge, persistence, honor and integrity. I have constructed a series of challenges, for those who wish to prove, test or hone their skills "on the field". The reward for successful completion of the challenges is an interview with the Praetorian Tribuni (senior members), for consideration of your application.

Your first task, if you choose to accept it, is to review the camp directive that will start you on a series of challenges. Of course, we don't want internal documents falling into an enemy spies' hand, so to prove that you are indeed "one of us" you'll need to decipher the message to receive the orders for your next challenge. Don't worry, if you're a Roman, you should have no problem.
