Fun Fact: The first legions Gaius Marius raised in 107 BCE after his Marian reforms were enacted were almost entirely from the urban poor and in this one case there was an exception to the norm of the Decanus being selected by the other men of the Contubernium. In Marius' first legions, the Contubernii were organized so that each group had at least one literate man, the appointed Decanus, whose additional duty was to teach the others to read.

There is a famous quote from a legionary: "If anyone ever saluted a Tribune, the light must have been really bad." Says a lot about those guys...
