Centuria (unit of measure)
text:
During centuriation, centuria was a basic unit of area, representing a square of 20 actus on a side. The name derives from the fact that in new colonies each centuria can be subdivided into 100 lots of heredium size that were typically allocated to 100 families of colonists. Although the "normal" size of centuria was dominant, the contemporary Roman sources as well as modern archeological results suggest that centuria varied in size from 50 to 400 jugera, with some subdivisions using non-square
