Centuriones

[M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER]

Thanks to everyone. Yes, the accounts of the fights would be an obvious place to look. However, I am mostly interested in the references to centurions - and soldiers in general - made in a non-military context, such as the encounter with a soldier in the "Golden Ass," or the references in the Gospels and Acts. I am trying to see what the civilian society thought of the military, and how the centurion/soldier figure/topos has been used in Greco-Roman-Jewish literature.
