Decurion (Roman cavalry officer)
:''Not to be confused with Decurion (administrative)''
A decurion (Latin: ''decurio'', plural ''decuriones'') was a Roman cavalry officer in command of a squadron (''turma'') of cavalrymen in the Roman army.
== Republican army ==
During the Roman Republic a "Polybian" legion (ca. 300–88 BC) of citizen-levies had a cavalry complement of 300 horse, divided into 10 ''turmae'' (squadrons) of 30 men each. Each ''turma'' was led by 3 decurions, who were elected by the squadron members themselves. Although ''decurio'' literally means "leader of 10 men", it does not appear that a ''turma'' was sub-divided into 3 troops of 10 men each. Instead, one decurion would act as squadron commander and the other two as his deputies.〔Polybius VI.25〕 All decurions were members of the Roman equestrian order, as were many of their subordinates.
