In Roman cavalry a turma was divided into three decuries. Romulus divided the whole Roman people into three tribes, over each of which he appointed a tribune.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Decurie (lateinisch von decem = „zehn“) war ursprünglich die kleinste, zehn Mann umfassende Einheit in der Phalanx der römischen Armee. Ihr Vorsteher war der Decurio, wahrscheinlich ein Mannschaftsdienstgrad (Immunis). Mit der Umstellung auf die Manipularordnung sank die Gruppengröße auf acht Mann, die keinen formellen Leiter mehr hatten und als Contubernium (Zeltgemeinschaft) bezeichnet wurden. In der nationalrömischen Reiterei bildeten drei Decurien mit je zehn Reitern eine Turma. Hier war der Decurio allerdings ein Offiziersdienstgrad. Mit der Umstellung auf Reitereinheiten als Auxiliartruppen wurde die Aufteilung der Turmae in Decurien aufgegeben. (de)

In Roman cavalry a turma was divided into three decuries. Romulus divided the whole Roman people into three tribes, over each of which he appointed a tribune. Each tribe he subdivided into ten centuries, with centurions at their heads, and each century he subdivided further into ten decuries, over each of which a decurio commanded. In the interregnum after the death of Romulus the Roman Senate, comprised at that time of 100 men, arranged itself into ten decuries, and each decuria governed Rome for five days. In a rotating manner, each man within a decuria reigned for 12 hours, six by day and six by night, as interrex. The decuriae continued to rotate the government amongst themselves for a year until the election and accession of Numa Pompilius. Decuria was also a Roman unit of measurement applied to civitas of native peoples. It had been mentioned by Pliny the Elder at 70 AD in his work, Natural History. (en)
