They had to be able to read, have good political connections and be at least 30 years old. They had to be strong and skilled in the use of Roman weapons, and able to discipline their troops. Roman soldiers could reach the rank of centurion in a number of ways, including elections, senate appointments or promises from the ranks of the army. Centurions who set an example and often stand at the front of their legionnaires, fight alongside them in battle.
