Can a card be protected from a negate?

yes but it's becoming clear on how negated gets through protect. seems like it's just like immunity which is still negatable

Im trying to understand how Caesarea Philippi is negatable

Caesarea Philippi (Di)

Type: Site • Brigade: Red • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect N.T. human Evil Characters in your territory from capture and discard abilities on opponents' cards. Protect N.T. Sites in your territory from opponents' cards.

I personally believe that "protect" abilities essentially shield the targets (N.T. human EC's & Sites in this case) from mentioned actions (capture & d/c), meaning that there is NO WAY that the action can reach the target.

The Centurion at Capernaum (TP)

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Red • Ability: 7 / 6 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Negate special abilities on Sites and Evil Characters, except banding and warrior class. This Hero has access to all Sites. • Identifiers: NT Male Human, Rome, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: Matthew 8:5 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

centenarian negates but the site is still protected. Im guessing you can't be protected from a negate unless the card says can't be negated then.

Correct. Cannot be Negated isn't really a protect ability, but it basically protects the ability from being negated.
