As a result, Roman centurions were well paid and held in high esteem, and they experienced high rates of injury and death during war.

Centurions were held to high standards of conduct and were expected to Fight on the FRONT LINES with their men. In fact, the centurion s Designated Place in formation was at the end of the very FRONT ROW. As a result, Roman centurions were well paid and held in high esteem, and they experienced high rates of injury and death during war. The combination of wealth, power, and prestige made them influential in society.
7 Historian Michael Grant had this to say about centurions, These formidable men combined the functions and prestige of a modern company commander and sergeant-major or top sergeant. These men received pay commensurate with that prestige.
8 Historian Michael Grant had this to say about centurions, These formidable men combined the functions and prestige of a modern company commander and sergeant-major or top sergeant. These men received pay commensurate with that prestige. Grant goes on to say, That is to say the lowest grade of centurion received nearly seventeen times as much as an ordinary legionary, and the highest grade was paid four times as much again.

Grant goes on to say, That is to say the lowest grade of centurion received nearly seventeen times as much as an ordinary legionary, and the highest grade was paid four times as much again. A Roman soldier did not become a centurion overnight. It took YEARS. Grant describes special cohorts within legions made up of veterans of SIXTEEN years or more. He refers to these cohorts as a normal source for men to be promoted to centurions.

11 The Greek statesman and historian Polybius (c BC) wrote: In choosing their centurions the Romans look NOT so much for the DARING or FIRE-EATING type, but rather for men who are Natural LEADERS and possess a Stable and Imperturbable temperament, NOT men who will open the battle and launch attacks,

48 In the 1976 film "Jesus of Nazareth," directed by Franco Zeffirelli, an eight-hour miniseries that is still shown on television every year around Easter time. Jesus was played by the fine British actor Robert Powell; Olivia Hussey portrayed Mary, his mother; Anne Bancroft was Mary Magdalene; and Ernest Borgnine had a small but crucial role as the centurion whose servant Jesus healed and who was later present at the crucifixion. As Borgnine tells it: When it came time for my scene during the crucifixion, the weather was chill and gray.
49 The camera was to be focused on me at the foot of the cross, and so it was not necessary for Robert Powell, the actor who portrayed Jesus, to be there. Instead, Zeffirelli put a chalk mark on a piece of scenery beside the cameraman. "I want you to look up at that mark," he told me, "as if you were looking at Jesus."

Instead, Zeffirelli put a chalk mark on a piece of scenery beside the cameraman. "I want you to look up at that mark," he told me, "as if you were looking at Jesus." I hesitated. Somehow I wasn t ready. I was uneasy. "Do you think it would be possible for somebody to read from the Bible the words Jesus said as He hung on the cross?" I asked.
52 I knew the words well from the days of my childhood in an Italian-American family in Connecticut, and I d read them in preparation for the film. Even so, I wanted to hear them now. "I will do it myself," Zeffirelli said. He found a Bible, opened it to the Book of Luke, and signaled for the camera to start rolling.

As Zeffirelli began reading Christ s words aloud, I stared up at that chalk mark, thinking what might have gone through the centurion s mind.

As Zeffirelli began reading Christ s words aloud, I stared up at that chalk mark, thinking what might have gone through the centurion s mind. That poor Man up there, I thought. Jesus says He is the Son of God, an unfortunate claim during these perilous times. But I KNOW he is INNOCENT of any crime.
55 "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." The voice was Zeffirelli s, but the words burned into me -- the words of Jesus. (Luke 23:34-46)
56 "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." The voice was Zeffirelli s, but the words burned into me -- the words of Jesus. (Luke 23:34-46) Forgive me, Father, for even being here, was the centurion s prayer that formed in my thoughts. I am so ashamed, so ashamed.

(Luke 23:34-46) Forgive me, Father, for even being here, was the centurion s prayer that formed in my thoughts. I am so ashamed, so ashamed. "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise," said Jesus to the thief hanging next to Him.

60 As I stared upward, instead of the chalk mark, I suddenly saw the face of Jesus Christ, lifelike and clear. It was not the face of Robert Powell I was used to seeing,
61 As I stared upward, instead of the chalk mark, I suddenly saw the face of Jesus Christ, lifelike and clear. It was not the face of Robert Powell I was used to seeing, but the most beautiful, gentle visage I have ever known.
62 As I stared upward, instead of the chalk mark, I suddenly saw the face of Jesus Christ, lifelike and clear. It was not the face of Robert Powell I was used to seeing, but the most beautiful, gentle visage I have ever known. Pain-seared, sweat-stained, with blood flowing down from thorns pressed deep, His face was still filled with COMPASSION. He looked down at me through tragic, sorrowful eyes with an expression of LOVE beyond description.
63 Then His cry rose against the desert wind. Not the voice of Zeffirelli, reading from the Bible, but the voice of Jesus Himself: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."
64 Then His cry rose against the desert wind. Not the voice of Zeffirelli, reading from the Bible, but the voice of Jesus Himself: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." In awe I watched Jesus head slump to one side. I knew He was dead. A terrible grief welled within me, and completely oblivious of the camera, I started SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY.

In awe I watched Jesus head slump to one side. I knew He was dead. A terrible grief welled within me, and completely oblivious of the camera, I started SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY. "Cut!" yelled Zeffirelli. Olivia Hussey and Anne Bancroft were crying, too. I wiped my eyes and looked up again to where I had seen Jesus. He was gone.
66 Whether I saw a vision of Jesus that windswept day or whether it was only something in my mind, I do not know. It doesn t matter.

For I do know that it was a profound spiritual experience and that I have not been quite the same person since. I believe that I take my faith more seriously. I like to think that I m more forgiving than I used to be. As that centurion learned two thousand years ago, I too have found that you simply cannot come close
