The centurion, with his hands on the nape of his horse's neck, is gazing with horror at the writhings of the impenitent thief, whose legs are being broken with an iron bar, which has so tortured the unhappy man that in his agony he has torn his left foot from the nail."
Whereupon the lictors withdrew and the centurion turned to the Chief Captain, who looked me up and down, for, as you see, my appearance did not command respect. Is it true that thou'rt a Roman citizen? he asked, and I answered, yes, and he was astonished, for he had paid a great deal of money for the title.
"Are you laughing at me, Serge?" cried Marcus, turning upon the man, sharply. "Can't you see I'm not, boy? Why, I'm as serious as a centurion with a new command." "But do you think I'm going to believe that you felt your heavy helmet in your toes?" "Of course I do, boy," said the man, chuckling.
I know not more, but the centurion telleth it broadly." "Whence got thou the story?" "From thy scarred eunuch, my mistress." "From my scarred eunuch? And where got he the story?" "I know not save he hath it." "Call thou my eunuch to me." With flying feet Zenobe hastened to obey. Meantime Margara finished her work of hair dressing, exclaiming, "Thy hair is most beautiful!"
She risked her life to move Caesar's father to mercy toward the citizens, after they had openly declared against him and in favor of his rival Pescennius Niger. And she succeeded, too."

At most the centurion in charge might allow you an hour in which to commit suicide.
Soloman suddenly makes his appearance in the little shop, much to Mr. McArthur's surprise. "Say-old man! centurion!" he exclaims, in a maudlin laugh, "Keepum's in the straps-is, I do declare; Gadsden and he bought a lot of niggers-a monster drove of 'em, on shares. He wants that trifle of borrowed money-must have it. Can have it back in a few days."
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. ACTS xxviii. 1-16. 'They all escaped safe to land, says Luke with emphasis, pointing to the verification of Paul's assurance that there should be no loss of life.

Whoever should take the daughter of the gem-cutter and he described Melissa once more would render a special service to Caesar and might reckon on promotion. The centurion Julius Martialis stayed to hear the end of this discourse, and then hurriedly departed.
The physician turned as pale as death, and sank incapable of speech on a seat by his patient's couch; but Gorgo turned with calm dignity to the centurion who led the intruders, and explained to him who she was, and that she was here under the protection of the leech to tend her suffering father.
