CENTURY (from Lat. centuria, a division of a hundred men)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 684 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CENTURY (from Lat. centuria, a division of a hundred men) , the name for a unit in the
Roman
  army, originally amounting to one hundred men, and for one of the divisions into which the
Roman
 
people
  was separated for voting purposes (see CoMITIA). The word is applied to any
group
  of one hundred, and more particularly to a period of a hundred years, and to the successive periods of a hundred years, dating before or after the
birth
  of Christ. The "
Century
 -plant " is a name given to the
Agave
  (q.v.), or American
aloe
 , from the supposition that it flowered once only in every hundred years.
