In the Roman infantry, centurions initially commanded a centuria or "century". Centuries, or centuriae, developed from the Roman tribal system under the Servian reforms and could contain 200 to 1000 men under Caesar's rule. This became 100, at full strength, under the Marian reforms.
The Coolus-style helmet was developed in the 3rd century B.C.. Coolus helmets added large neck guards and brow guards to the Montefortino-style helmet. The cheek pieces on Coolus-style helmets featured hinged flanges that protected the wearer's throat and cutaway sections that made hearing easier.
Following the army restructure by the Roman general Gaius Marius (157 BC–January 13, 86 BC) there were 60 centurions in a legion. The Roman centurion was equivalent to a Captain in the Roman Army. The Roman Centurion was often of the humblest origin; he had been promoted from the ranks simply on account of bravery and military efficiency.
Because of the enormous military successes of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, the legion has long been regarded as the prime ancient model for military efficiency and ability.
