What is Roman centrion?

A Roman centurion was a military officer. There were eleven grades or ranks of centurion so the title "centurion" covered a lot of officers. Incidentally, a centurion of the lowest rank commanded a "century" of 80 men, not the 100 men that is erroneously thought to have made up the century.A Roman centurion was a military officer.

How do you pronounce centurion?

You would pronounce Centurion as Kent-urion. Due to the fact that Latin has no soft C so all C's come out as K's.


Who were the Roman centurions?

Centurion of the Roman Army was a rank of the Roman Army officials. Centurions were in command of about 80 men, contrary to the popular belief that it was 100. Centurions were Roman soldiers that showed enough skills in combat, discipline, and leadership that they were promoted to Centurion.The highest rank of Centurion was the Primus pilus, he was the leader of the first cohort. Cohorts usually contained around 6 centuries, but the first cohort in a legion had double the amount of soldiers in each century. So, in reality, a Primus pilus was in direct command of roughly 960 men, but being the supreme centurion of the whole legion, he had command over an actual number of about 5,000 men, and was second in line to the Legatus-the commander of a legion.


What were the responsibilities of a Centurion?

A centurion was an officer in the Roman army. As there were elven ranks of centurion, their responsibilities and duties differed. The lowest rank of centurion commanded a century which consisted of 80 men (not 100 men as is erroneously believed). The highest rank of centurion was the Camp Praefect who was third in command of a legion.
