	Centurion (Roman army) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A centurion (Latin: centurio; Greek: hekatontarchos) was a professional officer of the Roman army.
		The Roman centurion was distinguished by his uniform: his armor was silvered, he wore his sword on his left side rather than his right, he wore greaves on his legs, and the crest of his helmet was turned perpendicular to the front.
		Centurions had the privilege of riding on horseback during marches and, if they had been given permission to marry, to live with their family while in garrison.
