Corrections[edit]

The praetorium was the commanders quarters (tent or house), not headquarters. The diagram of a fort (castra) incorrectly identified the principia as the praetorium, so is irrelevant to the article.

The link to Praetorium Agrippinae in Valkenburg is also irrelevant. As the web-page states: "this site is devoted to the roman castellum of Praetorium Agrippinae". The other link "Praetorium at Housesteads along Hadrian's Wall" IS relevant, as it makes clear that the praetorium was the commander's house, as distinct from the principia, or headquarters, shown on the adjoining plan.
