Description
Roman Centurion Portrait - 2 by Andrea Mazzocchetti
A centurion of the Roman army, one of the most important and efficient military organizations in history. It is an officer who had one of the most important degrees within the Roman army: he was in fact at the head of a centuria, a group of soldiers ranging from about 80 to 100 men. It can be compared to modern intermediate grade officers. In the Roman army the most important was the centurion of the first hand piece of the first Cohort, also called Primus Pilus. They were brave soldiers, capable in battle and in commanding and motivating men, absolutely necessary for any general of the age who wanted to succeed in battle.

I am in the middle of writing a book about Caesar and the change from Republic to Empire and would like to use this image in my book as it reminded me of Caesar's description of one of his Centurians called Titus Pulfio who fought with him in Gaul and later fought for Caesar Augustus. Normally There is a small charge for this but if my book is a hit, and it is a major break through in understanding Roman History, the citation to you can give you a lot of publicity. May I?
