As a superior, think of how a modern day private would address a Lieutenant. There would be a measure of respect. However, the Romans had no titles, except for the very highest personages such as the emperor who would be addressed as"Augustus" or some other respectful title. A centurion or even the legate of the legion himself would be addressed by his name. Even Caesar's men, addressed him as Caesar.

How many soldiers could a centurion command?

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.
