Sculpture The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington, D.C. Centurion: Union Station in Washington, D.C. by Louis Saint-Gaudens A centurion was a professional officer of the Roman army after the Marian reforms of 107 BC. Most centurions commanded a century (centuria) of 80 men, but senior centurions commanded cohorts, or took senior staff roles in their legion. Centurions took their title from the fact that they commanded a century. Centuries were so-called because they originally numbered roughly 100 men. Early in Roman history, the standard establishment was set at 80 men, although by the Imperial period, the establishment of a century in a first cohort — but not others — had grown to 160 men.
