Pulex becomes Praefectus

Following the battle of Narona, General Flaccus decorates Centurion Pulex and other officers of the 1st Cohort with awards for valour and promotes Pulex to the rank of Prefect within the Legion. Now that Pulex had become an over night hero and was the talk of Rome, Flaccus thought it best If he was taken off the front line, knowing his death could be devastating for the morale of the army.

Pulex welcomed his new pay rise and office within the Legion; the way he saw it, he had used up all of his spare lives at Narona and didn't want to tempt the Gods any further.
