The centurion had a transverse crest on his helmet. His armour was decorated with three phalerae, round metal decorations. In addition to his crested helmet, a centurion could always be recognized by his "vitis" or vine stick, which was the symbol of his rank. He also wore his sword on his left, while the common soldier wore their swords on their right.
What else can I help you with?
How could you recognize a centurion from the other soldiers?
The Australian Centurion will be easier to identify, since it doesn't wear skirts (armor plates over the road wheels); 6 road wheels per side, 4 support rollers per side, a bore evacuator in the middle of the 20 pounder gun (84mm), sheet metal sponson boxes attached to the port/starboard side of the turret; and the driver's hatch will be located on the right front. The Australian version (Mark 5/1) might also have that extra fuel tank attached to it's stern.

What is a roman officer called in command of 100 soldiers?
There was no Roman officer in charge of 100 men. There is a misconception that a centurion was in charge of 100 because of his title, but that is untrue. The title "centurion" did not come from the Latin word "centum" meaning 100, it came from the Latin word "centuria" which was associated with the voting assemblies. The word centurion was derived from the word centruria, and the word centuria was derived from the word centum (100). The centurion was in charge of the military centuria which originally had 100 men and then changed in size. A centuria could be either the building block of the Roman army or the voting unit of the Assembly of the Soldiers (comitia centuriata). The centuria as the unit of the army started right at the beginning with the Romulean army established by Romulus, Rome's founder. Some 300 hundred years later Servius Tullius (the 6th king) reformed the army (the Servian reform) and introduced the assembly of the soldiers which was divided into separate voting units following the the model of the already existing assembly of the people. He called these units centuriae to mirror them with the already existing units of the army. With the Romulean army, Rome's three tribes provided men for 10 centuriae each, giving a total of 30 centuries and 3,000 soldiers. Not much else is known about this army. With the Servian reform, the army had 6,000 men grouped into 60 centuriae. These included only heavy infantrymen. The light infantry served as support. The centururia did not necessarily have 100 men. The army was a militia of conscripts and only fought during the months of the campaigning season. The size of the levy depended on the needs of a particular campaign and the centuria could have less than 100 men. With the Marian reform by consul Gaius Marius, which introduced the professional army, the centuria at first had 100 soldiers and then changed to 60-80. Twenty other men were attached for administrative and logistical support. The army was grouped into cohorts of 6 centuriae. The first cohort was double in size and its centuriae had 160 soldiers each.
What was the south soldiers bedroom?
A person fighting the Civil War on the side of the South could expect, at the very best, to be living in a tent as a bedroom. Many soldiers slept on the ground wherever they could if there were not enough tents to go around. Soldiers would also sleep in barns or other buildings when they could. Many did not have blankets or a bed roll.
