Frequently asked
What made Roman centurions different from regular soldiers?
Centurions were elite officers who commanded 80 to 100 men in a century unit. They earned their position through bravery and skill, wore distinctive transverse helmet crests, carried a vine stick as a symbol of authority, and received much higher pay than ordinary legionnaires.
What armor and weapons did Roman centurions use?
Centurions wore lorica segmentata (segmented armor), carried a gladius sword, scutum shield, and pilum javelin. Their distinctive helmet featured a transverse crest made of horsehair or feathers, and they often wore decorative medals called phalerae on their chest armor.
