A centurion was an officer in the Roman army. There were eleven grades of centurion with the lowest grade being the man in charge of a century of 80 men, (yes, 80 men) and the highest grade being the camp praefect. In modern day usage, the term "centurion" is sometimes used to refer to a police officer.
