Information: A centurion was a professional officer in the Roman army who was commander of a century, a military unit of around 80 legionaries. In a Roman legion, centuries were grouped into cohorts and commanded by their senior-most centurion. The prestigious first cohort was led by the most senior centurion in the legion and its fourth-in-command.
