I believe a Centurion was the leader of around a hundred Roman Legionaries... :P

Nearer 80, the hundred is a common misconception. Unless the centurion is prima pilum and serving with the first, double strength century (c.160 legionarii) in each legion. Up until c300AD/CE anyway.

I thought it was less than a hundred, but now it is confirmed. Thanks Lemmey :).

Yes, but wasn't the entire first cohort, the veterans' cohort, double strength? So all six 1st cohort centurions would have commanded 160 men (Inasmuch as any legionary unit was ever at paper strength)  .
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

to total 5500, yup. But the Prima Pilum was the senior centurion.

5 double strength centuries in first cohort. 800 men in total

Been fifteen years since I've even considered this. It all changes in the later empire when legions are either shrunk or split into formations about 1200 strong. So much for my MA in Later Roman Military History.
