There was no officer in command of 100 soldiers as there was no unit in the Roman army consisting of 100 men. You are confusing the title "centurion" with the number 100. A Roman centurion commanded 80 men, not 100.
I think it is called a centurion.
That's 'Roman' and the term is Centurion. The Latin for 100 is Centa
There was no Roman officer in command of 100 men. There is a misconception that a centurion commanded 100 men, but this is false. The Roman army had no unit consisting of 100. An officer called a centurion, commanded a century which was 80 men. According to some military historians, the title "centurion" did not originate from the root word for one hundred, centum, but from the root word centuria, which was the voting assembly. The army kept this term, in my opinion, for the sole purpose of confusing students 2000 years in the future.

In actuality a Centurion commanded 100 Roman soldiers, however, a Centurion was not an officer in the Roman military.
There wasn't any because the Roman army never had a unit consisting of 100 soldiers. They did ave an officer called a centurion, but he commanded various numbers of men and had various duties with some of those duties being clerical. His title is often confused with the Latin word "centum" meaning 100.

A Centurion. 'Fraid not. There was no title for a man in command of 100. A centurion commanded 80. Centuries, or Centuriae, developed from the Roman Tribal system, these could be made up from 80 to 100 men. Later, under the Marian reforms this became the 100 men we know today.
