Fratre,
I know centurions started off with junior centuries and gradually worked there way up. Although some were promoted quickly to higher positions. They were promoted based on experience, length of service, initiative, bravery, and a number of other officer qualities. And even then some never made it to lead first cohort. My questions are: Did some centurions spend there entire career with a one legion? I've read where some moved from legion to legion a lot in there career. Why? What would be the reason for a centurion to be transferred to so many legions? Did a centurion have any kind of say in what legion he was being sent to or the area of the empire? And could he be overlooked for promotion based on his performace?
Salve Sis,
Thomas
