The Centurion was responsible for the well-being and training of all of the soldiers in his century. This included setting watches, assigning work, and making sure his troops got their share of supplies from the camp quartermaster. A Centurion also led his troops in battle and was responsible for giving them courage.

The MC Lilley Company produced swords, banners, flags, emblems and uniforms for fraternal societies and organizations such as the Masons, Odd Fellows, and the Knights of Pythias, as well as police and military uniforms. 

The M.C. Lilley & Co. (based in Columbus, Ohio) was a prominent 19th- and early 20th-century manufacturer of military uniforms, fraternal organization regalia (such as the Odd Fellows and Knights Templar), and theatrical equipment, rather than an ancient Roman military armorer.

Vintage Roman-style or plumed costume and ceremonial pieces bearing the M.C. Lilley & Co. name typically date from the late 1800s through the 1940s and were produced for parades, drill teams, theater productions, or fraternal degrees.
