Centuriate

/kenˈtjʊəriˌeɪt/ verb

Definition

To divide into centuria or groups of one hundred, especially for military or administrative purposes.

Etymology

From Latin centuriare, derived from centuria. The verb form developed to describe the action of organizing people or land into these standardized divisions of 100.

Kelly Says

Roman surveyors literally used centuriation to divide conquered land into grid patterns—you can still see these exact geometric patterns from space in some parts of Europe where Roman colonies were established 2,000 years ago! It's one of the most lasting impacts of Roman engineering.
