Actually I think it is the other way around. The commanders get all the attention but the lower officers like centurions and the soldiers don't get much attention. But then again it would make more sense for people to praise Gaius Julius Ceasar then well, a bunch of centurions. History remembers Generals, not soldiers. Except if you're Achilles, lol. Am I the only one who saw the movie?
