A centurion in full regalia. On his chest are medallions honoring acts in battle. In his hand is a staff of office (vitis) used for show as well as discipline. His sword is worn on the left, not the right, and the crest on his helmet is transverse. Tribunes (cohort commanders) would be similarly dressed, though with different helmets and color schemes.
