L’investiture d’un centurion romain : la fabrique des officiers de Rome<\/h2>\n

Au c\u0153ur du syst\u00e8me militaire romain se tenait le centurion romain<\/strong> \u2014 l’officier de m\u00e9tier qui commandait une centurie de quatre-vingts hommes, menait depuis la premi\u00e8re ligne et incarnait la continuit\u00e9 institutionnelle de la l\u00e9gion. Dans un syst\u00e8me o\u00f9 empereurs et g\u00e9n\u00e9raux passaient, o\u00f9 les bouleversements politiques pouvaient emporter en une saison le plus haut commandement, le centurionat fournissait le noyau professionnel stable qui maintenait l’arm\u00e9e romaine en \u00e9tat de marche \u00e0 travers des si\u00e8cles d’instabilit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La c\u00e9r\u00e9monie du commandement<\/h2>\n

L’investiture d’un centurion \u00e9tait une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie formelle qui conf\u00e9rait \u00e0 la fois le grade militaire et le statut social. Le nouveau centurion recevait sa vitis<\/strong> \u2014 le cep de vigne, insigne de sa charge, dont il usait pour maintenir la discipline \u2014 ainsi que la cr\u00eate transversale du casque qui le distinguait des l\u00e9gionnaires sous ses ordres. Il portait des jambi\u00e8res quand le soldat ordinaire n’en avait pas ; son armure \u00e9tait plus travaill\u00e9e ; il portait son \u00e9p\u00e9e \u00e0 gauche et non \u00e0 droite, signe de son rang d’officier.<\/p>\n

On attendait du centurion qu’il conn\u00fbt chacun de ses hommes par son nom, leurs familles et leur situation, qu’il s\u00fbt \u00e9valuer leur valeur au combat et leur caract\u00e8re. Il r\u00e9pondait de leur entra\u00eenement, de leur discipline, de leur solde, de leur \u00e9quipement et de leur moral. Dans le chaos de la bataille antique, quand les communications se rompaient et que les formations se disloquaient, son commandement personnel \u2014 sa volont\u00e9 de tenir la position la plus expos\u00e9e, d’\u00eatre vu de ses hommes, de donner les ordres qui maintenaient l’unit\u00e9 coh\u00e9rente \u2014 faisait souvent la diff\u00e9rence entre la victoire et la d\u00e9route.<\/p>\n

Le centurionat \u00e9tait, \u00e0 l’aune romaine, une institution m\u00e9ritocratique : on y montait par la comp\u00e9tence d\u00e9montr\u00e9e, la conduite au combat et la protection d’officiers sup\u00e9rieurs sachant reconna\u00eetre le talent. Un simple soldat pouvait, par un service exceptionnel, devenir centurion \u2014 et de l\u00e0 acc\u00e9der aux plus hauts rangs de la hi\u00e9rarchie militaire.<\/p>\n
