Relating to or belonging to a centuria, especially one of the divisions of Roman citizens organized for voting or military purposes.
From Latin centurialis, the adjectival form of centuria, with the suffix -alis meaning 'of or pertaining to.' This term applies specifically to Roman institutional structures.
The centurial system was so clever that it disguised inequality as fairness—it looked democratic because everyone got a vote, but the way centuries were organized meant that richer citizens' votes counted for much more. Ancient Rome was basically running sophisticated propaganda!
