Did they or didn\'t they ?

I personally would say a centurio could wear a segmentata. I mean, when the segmentata came into use, that wasn't without a reason, I suppose. As a officer, wouldn't you have the same 'new goodies' as you miles? But as others mentioned before, we don't know, as only one grave stele was found.

More general, as many finds of segmentata pieces where found in auxilia fortresses, I also wouldn't just predict the use of the segmentata to legionairies only, althrough thats a widely discussed item.
