En route to the Legion

Nero was awoken from sleep early morning by a female servant, who had been issued to him by the Roman army. She had parchment in hand.

"Sir... sir..." she whispered

Nero opened his eyes and groaned-- he had slept in. "Damnit... what is it now?"

"An official courier of Rome delivered this message last night. He rode in upon horse. I dared not open it without your presence, sir"

"Hand it here then" he said. He grabbed the letter and read it aloud. It bore the seal of Lagatus Caius Aurelius Cotta.
"...The following Tribunes of the Republic are hereby requested to report to the Legio II Latium camp for a personal interview with the commander of the Legion concerning their application to the Legion. Candidates should be prepared to explain their background, what they can bring to the Legion, and reasons why they think they would be eligable for the Legion's third and second in command. This is the final test for deciding the Tribunes. The final decision will be made after the last interview...

"Right then. Fix me some breakfast, will you? I shall begin packing. Ready my horse when I am done. I will ride north, up the Tiber to the Second Legion fort in Latium. You'll keep after the place while I'm gone. It may be a while"
