Century

The Century is the basic unit of the Roman Legion. Each Century has 100 soldiers in it, and is led by a Centurion. A century will typically have a single type of unit, such as infantry, cavalry, scouts, and the like. Exceptions are centuries with magic-based soldiers -- there are never enough of these to have 100 in a single unit, so they will be combined with others into a "specialist" century.
There are five centuries in a Cohort.
