Most ancient remains pervail the knowledge that a Roman Centurion could control 100 men.
His command would depend on his rank. There were many ranks of "centurion". The lowest ranking centurion commanded a century which was 80 men, contrary to popular belief that a century consisted of 100 men. If he commanded a cohort, he would command 480 men and if he were the "first spear" and commanded the first cohort, he had about 800 men under his command. The camp prefect, who was also a centurion, commanded the entire legion in the absence of the general and senior officers.

Were in the Bible would you fine how many soldiers did a Roman Centurion command?

I'm not aware of any place in the Bible where the number of a centurion's command is noted. I could be wrong on this. If it is there, it would have to be someplace in the New Testament. The Bible is a religious Book, not a military manual.
