tesserarius
A tesserarius (, from ''tessera'', a small tile or block of wood on which watchwords were written), was a watch commander in the Roman army. They organized and had command over the nightly guard assigned to keep watch over the fort when in garrison or on campaign〔Caesar's Civil War, Adrian Goldsworthy, (Page 20 )〕〔http://www.legionarybooks.net/the_imperial_legions 〕 and were responsible for getting the watchwords from the commander and seeing that it was kept safe. There was one ''tesserarius'' to each ''centuria'' (Wilkes, 1972). They held a position similar to that of a non-commissioned officer in modern armies and acted as seconds to the optiones.
Tesserary pay was one and a half times (''sesquiplicarii'') that of the standard legionary pay.
