Abstract 520    $a"The renown of the ancient Roman war machine is linked inextricably with that of its most famous class of officer, the centurion. His appearance evolved over the centuries, but courage and leadership in battle were always absolute requirements. If lucky and ambitious, he could climb the grades within his legion to a position of real influence and wealth, qualifying for senior military and civil posts, and lifting his family into the higher social classes. Drawing on wide literary and archaeological research, this second of two titles traces the career paths of centurions, and presents the evidence for their appearance, from the reign of Augustus to the fall of the Western Empire."
