I've had a look at some of the sites that (deb.langford)'s posted and found some interesting information.
One of Rome's special attributes was their army. Without them Rome would not be what it is now. The soldiers were divided into groups that all had their own purpose and different way of serving the Roman Empire. Legions are groups containing around five thousand men and are divided into ten cohorts which are divided into six centuries which was then separated into ten groups of eight soldiers that worked and fought together. The leader of the century was a Centurion who carried a vine stick and travelled alongside a signifer that held the Commanders badges.
