What kind of day has it been:

11:33 Trivia question of the day: during the Roman Empire, how many soldiers in a century?

12:02 To rephrase so to avoid doubt: During the Roman Empire, how many soldiers made up the unit known as a centuria, or century?

12:03 For bonus points, name the basic military units and their numbers up to the legion level.

13:30 Kiss a wookie, kick a droid, fly the Falcon through an asteroid...

A centuria is, of course, 100 men. Though later this was revised to be 60 or 80 men broken into 10 contubernia with the remaining number to make up 100 men taken up by various non-combatantant admin posts.
