Roman centurion
Product number:
3866
A simple craft sheet that illustrates very well what Roman equipment looked like at that time.
Within a legion of the Roman army, a centurion was in command of a unit of 80 to 100 men (Latin centum = hundred). His rank is comparable to an officer today, but it was not a uniform rank. The rank of a centurion depended on the position his hundred held within the legion. Centurions could come from the rank of Roman citizens; only higher ranks required membership of the knighthood or senatorial rank. The pay of a centurion was about twenty times that of a legionary, and he was not dismissed after his term of service. He often remained with the army until his death.
Tip: See the detailed text on the "Roman watchtower" in the appendix as a pdf.
