A centurion was a professional officer in the Roman army, commanding a group of around 80 to 100 soldiers called a “century.” They were known for their discipline, leadership skills, and experience in battle. Centurions were easily recognizable by their distinctive armor, which often included a crested helmet, a breastplate, and a vine staff (symbolizing authority). They played a crucial role in maintaining order, executing strategies, and inspiring troops during combat.
