A group or division of one hundred, especially in historical military organization or census records.
From Latin 'centena' (a hundred), derived from 'centum' (hundred). Used historically in Roman and post-Roman administration to organize troops or citizens into groups of 100.
Roman military commanders used 'centena' divisions to create a scalable system where you could manage thousands of soldiers by organizing them into manageable, standardized units—an early example of divide-and-conquer organizational strategy.
