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.
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.
Washington had approximately 12,000 soldiers at his command at the Battle of Brandywine. Howe had approximately 18,000 soldiers at his command.

it is all dependent for example an army colonel (0-6) in a brigade combat team will command as many as 1500 soldiers...then you could have an 0-6 Doctor Who doesn't command anyone...or you could have an 0-6 who is in charge of doctrine and training... but for the most part expect a 0-6 to have at least 20 people under him up to 2000.
