yeah, he is

Martyste Tendertail

Centurion is closely related to "Cent" = a hundred in french and latin etymology

Martyste Tendertail

Decudion -> De -> Dix ( Ten )

Stinkek

inb4 they change Infirmie's name again in the Netflix series

Feurus Fuchsus

kinda ironic how a centurion usually leads a big legion of romans

Feurus Fuchsus

if cent means a hundred

Martyste Tendertail

Well, a hundred looks realistic after what we've seen so far

Martyste Tendertail

armies attacking villages have few centurions

Martyste Tendertail

because they only send a hundred or a bit more

Martyste Tendertail

And you often see more than a single centurion, like in Twelve Tasks' opening or the ending of Britain

Feurus Fuchsus

i could see why so many centurions. they are probably the strongest kind of roman they could send at you

Feurus Fuchsus

they are centurions for a reason

Martyste Tendertail

It's also about social scale

Martyste Tendertail

It's been searched that people of our world usually keep track of around 150 people maximum

Martyste Tendertail

We probably want a single centurion to be able to keep track of a seizable number of legionnaries by himself. Names and whatnot

Martyste Tendertail

After all, if there's anything the roman empire was cunning at, it was keeping things ordered.

Stinkek

I can't even remember my university group mates' names (doesn't help that nearly all of them were girls)

Feurus Fuchsus

and cruel, don't forget that. the roman empire was cruel.

Martyste Tendertail

We eventually forget about those who are no longer relevant in our life, especially if the time spent with them wasn't memorable to begin with.
