Promotion of OPTIOS to CENTURION was based upon vacancies. Were OPTIOS ranked by seniority with the most senior being assigned to the 1st Century of the 1st Cohort? Were they promoted into the first vacancy regardless of Century or Cohort? Or were they promoted into vacancies occurring only within their respective Cohort?
If an OPTIO was promoted, could his existing vacancy then be filled by a worthy candidate from another Century or did it have to be filled with a candidate from within his century?
