In Ancient Rome, the Centurions were the rough equivalent of junior officers. Most commonly they commanded a 'cohort' of legionairres, which was 80-100 individuals. In battle, centurions could be easily distinguished by the transverse crest of horsehair or feathers, dyed red, upon their helmet.
Centurions are some of the best examples of leaders in history. They, like many great men, lead from the front; whatever the men under the centurion's command were doing, the centurion was doing it right there with them, whether that be chopping down logs for fortifications or fighting and dying. As such, centurions had a much higher mortality rate than officers in other armies - but only a few empires have come close to matching the size of Rome.
Although Rome in the west dissolved, the centurions continued through the Byzantine Empire in the east, in this case renamed 'kentarch'. Same thing pretty much.

Vegetius: The centurion in the infantry is chosen for his size, strength and dexterity in throwing his missile weapons and for his skill in the use of his sword and shield; in short for his expertness in all the exercises. He is to be vigilant, temperate, active and readier to execute the orders he receives than to talk; Strict in exercising and keeping up proper discipline among his soldiers, in obliging them to appear clean and well-dressed and to have their arms constantly rubbed and bright.

Get the Centurion mug.city right off of Birmingham, Alabama.
its a ghetto place, and you can frequently hear police chases and drug busts on the Parkway.
dont walk the streets at night, and watch out for the homeless drunks and druggies that inhabit the interstate exits. they will walk right up to your vehicle so make sure not to make eye contact and always leave your windows up.
there are so many churches almost always under baptist or methodist names through this area, but be wary. the preachers and pastors are probably gang members.
