Centurion
Premium credit tier
A centurion was a Roman military officer commanding a century—nominally one hundred soldiers, though typically around eighty.
Centurions formed the backbone of Roman legions, rising through the ranks on merit and maintaining discipline through experience and physical presence.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts: The centurion ordered his men to advance.
