I haven't been able to figure it out - who was the officer that commanded a cohort within a Roman legion? Or did the centuries of a cohort operate independently? I would think somebody - maybe a tribune, or a senior centurion - would have overall command of a cohort in battle at least. Since vexillations consisted of one or two cohorts, that would also suggest that one man was in charge of a cohort (since I can't imagine that vexillations didn't have commanders).
