What are the centuries? Army centuries, voting centuries or something else???
 
They are tribal centuries, which also function as voting centuries and military centuries. They are one and the same.

Does this mean that in Servius’ timeframe (4th-5th century AD) the Romans are not anymore divided into iuniores seniores centuries?
 
My conclusion is Constantine abolished the Roman tribal system. Ammianus talks about it in a past tense.
