It is usually suggested that the plumed soldiers on Trajan's Column are Praetorians. However, now you mention it, they could well represent the centurionate. But then there would be the dispute of deciding whether the centurion's plume was traverse or otherwise.
As far as I am aware, there are no centurions (or what we, at the moment, could identify as centurions) represented on the Tropaeum Traiani either?
