The Lost Roman Treasure of Lulworth Cove

Legend has it that many years ago, the Romans inhabited parts of Lulworth. It was rumoured that beautiful Roman artefacts are hidden somewhere around the cove, just waiting to be discovered. But the story doesn't end there - generations of residents have heard mysterious rumours of a ghostly Roman army marching across the hills above the cove on certain nights of the year. Some say they have returned for their treasures. The local legend has turned into a curious reality after a weathered map was discovered buried in the cove. The map and its scrawled set of clues have been sent to the Exploration Society HQ, and our clever team have translated the clues from Latin to English so we can finally retrieve the hidden hoard. Now, we just need bold and brave adventurers (YOU!) to crack the clues and unearth the lost loot. But beware; the ghostly army may be real too!
