I know that the Primus Pilus was generally the senior Centurion of a legion but when was this established and why was he called the Primus Pilus? Was Primus Pilus a man origionally who became the senior Centurion of his legion and his name was adopted as a title, this is just a guess but I can't really think of anything else unless Primus Pilus translates to something in Latin which I'm unawares of.
