Or Roman Centurion.

Or Roman Centurion.

A Centurion was a mid-level Officer in Imperial Rome.

A Legatus Legionis was the commander of a Legion.
A Tribunus Laticlavius was second in command of a Legion.
A Praefectus Castrorum was the third in command of a Legion.
A Primus Pilus was the senior Centurion of a Legion.

There were five levels of Centurions in the Cohorts:
Pilus Posterior
Princeps Prior
Princeps Posterior
Hastatus Prior
Hastatus Posterior

Next would be the Aquilifer, who was the Legion's standard bearer.

Then you had the Optio, who was second in command to each Centurion.

Each Century within a Legion had a Signifer, who was a Century's paymaster as well as the standard bearer for his Century.

A Tessarius was beneath the Optio of each Century.

A Munifex was a foot soldier (basically, a grunt).

A Tirones was a recruit and had roughly six months of training before being accepted as a Soldier.

There's more, like Immunes, Discens, Imaginifer, etc. but this list is pretty much top down.

Mmmmmm

Who wants a rank that includes Posterior? If we were to adopt those ranks would we modernise the terms? For example would Posterior become Barge Ass or just plain Ass?

 

[at6]

Could I apply for the rank of Total Ass?

 

[MiTasol]

No - Someone else has already claimed Total PTA since kinder or something like that and Total Ass is just an abbreviation.

Whatever you call them, never wash their coffee cup.

Ever.

How about Half Ass.
That would fit quite a few around here

Then I could saw the toilet in half. YAY!

 

[MiTasol]

Who gets the upper half?

Comfort but what a mess

 

[special ed]

Perhaps we need a thread called Members Pranks.

Why do I suspect this is leading to the "night-time plastic wrap over the commode's bowl prank"?
