Who is who in the First Century AD Roman century?

[Crispvs]

I can't add much from primary sources but that last time I was in Caerleon I noticed that the four exposed barrack blocks each have twelve pairs of rooms and a VERY extensive residence for the centurio with many rooms. An easy answer to explain the extra two pairs of barrack rooms seemed to be that the optio, signifer, tesserarius and cornicern/tubicern may have occupied these rooms, with two of them to each pair of rooms rather than their men's eight men per pair of rooms space allowance. I occurred to me that each of these junior officers may have had administration to carry out which might require desks and thus more space per person, quite aside from the privilages of rank. This is all fine and good of course but it is all supposition. It also does nothing to explain the extraordinary number of rooms in the presumed centuriones' quarters.
