−	Centuries are voting blocks of the [[comitia centuriata (Nova Roma)\|''comitia centuriata'']].

Out of these 31 centuries, 30 are reserved for ''[[assiduus]]'' citizens, the elite of the citizenry, and 1 (the 31st century) is reserved for the [[capite censi]], the masses of inactive citizens or those active citizens who don't have at least 16 census points.

−	Centuries in Nova Roma are numbered, with the 1st century in the 1st class on the top, down to the 31st century in the 5th class for the ''capite censi''. The more [[census point]]s a citizen has, the higher century he is placed in. Citizens in higher centuries have more voting weight, as higher centuries have less citizens in them, therefore each citizen's vote carries greater weight.	+
−		+
−	The centuries are further distributed into 5 [[classes]], the 1st class being the highest. The higher the class, the more centuries it contains, consequently, the more voting weight it has. Similarly, the higher a century is, the less citizens it contains, so each individual in a century has more voting weight in it.	+

−	The number of centuries is determined based on the number of ''assiduus'' citizens in Nova Roma, but there are always at least 31 centuries. The addition of ~~new~~ centuries to the ~~''comitia centuriata'' will be structured~~ to ~~coincide to the growth of the number of ''assidui''~~.	+	The official, permanent number of centuries is 23, but it may vary according to the needs of the Nova Roman society. At the moment, there are 24 centuries, numbered from I-XXV. Centuria XXI and XXII are temporarily merged, so they are one century called ''Centuria XXI-XXII'', and there are two extra centuries, Centuria Extraordinaria XXIV and XXV. In the rest of this article, we will use the permanent, normal number of the centuries, that is, 23, for the explanation of the system.
		+
		+	Centuries in Nova Roma are numbered, with Centuria I in the First Class on the top, down to the Centuria XXIII under the Fifth Class for the ''[[capite censi]]''. Out of the 23 centuries, 22 are reserved for ''[[assiduus]]'' citizens, Centuriae I-XXII, the elite of the citizenry, and only one, the Centuria XXIII is reserved for the ''capite censi'', the masses of the less active citizens who don't pay the voluntary taxes (membership fee).
		+
		+	The 23 centuries are distributed across the [[Class (Nova Roma)\|5 classes of citizens]], the First Class being the highest. The more [[census point]]s a citizen has, the higher class centuries he is placed in. Citizens in higher class centuries have more voting weight, as higher class centuries have less citizens in them, therefore each citizen's vote carries greater weight. The higher the class is, the more centuries it contains, consequently, the more voting weight it has. At the same time, higher class centuries contain less citizens than lower class centuries, so each individual in a higher class century has a larger share in the vote of the century, and this is how a citizen in a higher class century has a larger voting weight.
		+
		+	Out of the 22 ''assiduus'' centuries, 6 (within the First Class) are reserved for those ''[[equestrian order (Nova Roma)\|public knights of the Equestrian Order]]'' who possess at least 400 census points.
		+
		+	The number of centuries is determined based on the number and distribution of ''assiduus'' citizens in Nova Roma, but there are always at least 31 centuries. The temporary addition or merger of centuries is decided by the Censorial Office according to specific regulations.

−	The [[censor (Nova Roma)\|''censores'']] are tasked to assign a citizen to a class based on his [[taxes\|taxpayment]] and [[century point]]s (merits, public service).

		+	== Previous system of centuries in the past of Nova Roma ==
		+
		+	Before the year {{2014}}, the number of centuries was determined by dividing the number of [[assiduus (Nova Roma)\|assiduus]] citizens by eight, rounding down. There could be no more than 193 and no less than 51 centuries, but in practice it remained always 51. The assignment of citizens took place before every election by the [[censor (Nova Roma)\|''censores'']].
		+
		+	The ''censores'' were allowed by the [[Lex_Octavia_altera_de_comitiis_centuriatis_%28Nova_Roma%29\|Lex Octavia altera de comitiis centuriatis]] to determine the number of centuries in each [[class]] by edict, but no ''censores'' choose to do so, so the initial proportions set up by the law was adhered to until the new system was introduced. The relative sizes of each class was set as follows:

	*Class I: 29% of the ''assiduus'' centuries.		*Class I: 29% of the ''assiduus'' centuries.

The more [[century point]]s a citizen has, the higher century he is placed in. Citizens in higher centuries have more voting weight, as higher centuries have less citizens in them, therefore each citizen's vote carries greater weight.
