Thank you Duncan,
That dictionary, however, is also an interpretation; particularly when associated with the Cohort(es).
Could it also not mean 'five hundreds' or 'five hundredths' ? ie 5 x Centuriae? Where we know the century is actually 80, but is formed from a 'centuriae' system, just like dividing the people/tribes for elections and representation and the same as dividing land?
