Roman centurion earns a fitting nickname.

>As one of the indications of his rank, every centurion carried a vine stick, the forerunner of the swagger stick of some modern armies. Centurions were at liberty to use their sticks to thrash any legionary mercilessly for minor infringements. A centurion named Lucilius, who was killed in the AD 14 Pannonian mutiny, had a habit of brutally breaking a vine stick across the back of a legionary, then calling ‘Bring another!’, a phrase that became his nickname. _______________________ **Source:** Dando-Collins, Stephen. “Part I: The Men - Discipline and Punishment.” *Legions of Rome: The Definitive History of Every Imperial Roman Legion*.
