Dear Lucius Aurelius Metellus,<br>
Actually, Ordinarii are mostly considered as all centurions. If you also check John the Lydus you will not see the centurions amongst the Legionary ranks, instead you will see ordinarii. even Vegetius tries to explain them, this term of ordinarius is unclear, as Vortigern Studies said.<br>
I suggest you to read that article:<br>
J. Frank Gilliam, The Ordinarii and Ordinati of the Roman Army. in the journal: Transactions and Proceedings of the American Philological Association, Volume 71 (1940), p. 127-148.<br>
take care... <p></p><i></i>
