The consular dates (e.g. Sabinus II and Venustus, AD 240; Atticus and Praetextatus, AD 242; Praesens and Albinus, AD 246; Aufidius Marcellus II, AD 226) apparently mark each soldier's year of enlistment. 'Century' (centuria) is a unit of the Roman army commanded by a centurion, whose name identifies it.
