Decanus

Chosen by the Legionares in the Unmade Legion contubernium, the decanus is the leader of the contubernium. Typically he is the most experienced legionare in the contubernium and reports to the Centurion. It is worth mentioning that during the battle the decanus has no significance from the command point of view.
