         DefinitionShort: a Roman officer in command of about one hundred men

         Glosses: ['centurion', 'captain']

         Comments: In a number of languages, centurion can very readily be rendered by a phrase such as ‘a commander of a hundred soldiers,’ but in many instances the closest natural equivalent is simply ‘captain.’
