Quote:For a study of careers within the centurionate, detailing what can be established of the complexity of hierarchy and command, I suggest Robert Summerly's thesis Studies in the Legionary Centurionate (1990), which I believe is available online somewhere!Jim Summerly, actually. He was one of the late Brian Dobson's research students at Durham University. His thesis is available for free download on the British Library's EthOS website here:

Quote:I have long believed that centuries cooperated in command long before having read that litrature. But I have disregarded that belief because logical sense and the way an army is organized just tells me that pilus prior maintained a role of command in each cohort.That is your opinion and you are entitled to it but please state it as such and not as a fact.
