The act or process of dividing territory into centuria, or the system and method of organizing land and people into groups of approximately one hundred.
From Latin centuriatio, the noun form of centuriare. This term describes both the process and the resulting organized system, particularly used in Roman land surveying and distribution.
When Romans conquered new territories, they didn't just occupy them randomly—they used centuriation to create rigid grid patterns that are still visible in modern aerial maps of places like North Africa and the Middle East. It's like the Romans were the original urban planners!
