What do you call a roman officer that is in command of 100 soldiers?

There was no Roman officer in command of 100 men. There is a misconception that a centurion commanded 100 men, but this is false. The Roman army had no unit consisting of 100. An officer called a centurion, commanded a century which was 80 men. According to some military historians, the title "centurion" did not originate from the root word for one hundred, centum, but from the root word centuria, which was the voting assembly. The army kept this term, in my opinion, for the sole purpose of confusing students 2000 years in the future.

∙ 11y agoThere wasn't any because the Roman army never had a unit consisting of 100 soldiers. They did ave an officer called a centurion, but he commanded various numbers of men and had various duties with some of those duties being clerical. His title is often confused with the Latin word "centum" meaning 100.

∙ 10y agoThe commander of a centuria (century) was the centurion. Although the name century was derived from centum (s hundred), this unit (which is comparable to a modern company) had 80 men.
