The large inscribed Centurial stone found at Navio in 1903 dates from the rebuilding of the fort in 154 BC by occupying soldiers from southwest France. The Centurial stone is on display in the Buxton Museum. OS maps still mark Buxton with its Roman name of Aquae Arnemetiae.

Turret 54B (Howgill) () was also excavated in 1933. The excavations uncovered four courses of red sandstone masonry. There are no surface remains visible. A small inscribed centurial stone can be seen 190 metres southwest of the site of Turret 54B.

Turret 45A (Walltown) () is located east of the normal measured position, and measures by externally. It was excavated in 1883, 1912, and 1959.TURRET 45A, Pastscape, retrieved 3 December 2013 The 1959 excavations uncovered two centurial stones to the west of the turret. The turret walls were consolidated and stand to an average height of 1 metre.

The porch also contains an inscribed centurial stone, dated 1171, from a Roman fort at Castell Collen. The church is also significant for containing a figure described by historian Malcolm Thurlby as a Sheela Na Gig. In 1176 Geraldus Cambrensis, the archdeacon of Brecon, sought sanctuary in the church. In Fron is Coedgwgan Hall, a grade II listed building.

Centurial years are ordinary years, unless they are divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years. This causes a correction in the years 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, and 2300. For instance, these corrections cause 23 December 1903 to be the latest December solstice, and 20 December 2096 to be the earliest solstice—about 2.35 days of variation compared with the seasonal event.

It is situated along the Roman military road between the forts of Segontium (Caernarfon) and Tomen y Mur. It is placed where the road makes a marked change of alignment. The plan of the fort suggests that it housed around 960 foot-soldiers. This is believed because of numerous barrack blocks each with ten double rooms and a centurial block at the end nearest the defences.

The parish church dedicated to St. Padarn (after which Llanbadarn Fawr is named) is situated near the bridge over the River Ithon just south of the village. It contains an important Norman archway and rare carved tympanum, a Roman era centurial stone, a Sheela na gig and Celtic stone carvings.Radnorshire Churches Survey, Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust, accessed 13 July 2016 The Rock Baptist Chapel is the earliest baptist foundation in Radnorshire.

Hadrian's Wall forms the north wall of the turret, which was standing eleven courses high in 1947. Its south wall is nearly high. On the east side of the turret the broad wall wing is joined by a narrow section of wall, indicating that the turrets were built first and the Wall was then built up to them. Near to the turret a centurial stone was found in situ with the inscription COH IX > PAV.

Asian of the Century is a centurial issue of the 20th century held by American AsianWeek magazine and CNN in 1999 that features and profiles Asian persons who have topped their respective fields. Those people featured are considered as "The person who contributed most to the betterment of Asia in the past 100 years'".ASIAN OF THE CENTURY Introduction: They Changed Our Lives Mahatma Gandhi was declared as the "Asian of the Century".

Inscribed stones, found at Harlech Castle and believed to be from Tomen y Mur, document the rebuilding of the fort in stone. Each stone commemorates, in paces, various lengths of completed fortress wall and the units (Centuria) who built them. Some of these Centurial Stones were on display at the now closed Segontium museum, Caernarfon. A section of the 2nd-century curtain wall has recently been reconstructed to give an impression of how the defences may once have looked.

The Ethiopian Years 1992 and 1996, however, began on the Gregorian Dates of 'September 12th 1999' and '2003' respectively. This date correspondence applies for the Gregorian years 1900 to 2099. The Ethiopian leap year is every four without exception, while Gregorian centurial years are only leap years when exactly divisible by 400; thus a set of corresponding dates will most often apply for a single century. As the Gregorian year 2000 is a leap year, the current correspondence lasts two centuries instead.

During excavations, five different inscribed stones have been found. Two of these refer to the cohort of auxiliaries that garrisoned the fort, the other three name different centurians whose men had constructed parts of the fort. The cohort stones read, 'COH II ASTVR ...' ("The Second Cohort of Asturians [...]") and '...MIBVS ...COH II ASTVR', ("[...]mibus [...] the Second Cohort of Asturians"). The centurial stones read, 'ARTI MENNIVS PRIMVS', ("The century of Artius Mennius Primus [made this]"; 'ARTI', ("The century of Artius [made this]"); 'VERIONIS', ("The century of Verionus [made this]").

However, there remained a small residual variation in the date and time of the vernal equinox of about ±27 hours from its mean position, virtually all because the distribution of 24 hour centurial leap-days causes large jumps (see Gregorian calendar leap solstice). This in turn raised the possibility that it could fall on 22 March, and thus Easter Day might theoretically commence before the equinox. The consulting astronomers chose the appropriate number of days to omit so that the equinox would swing from 19 to 21 March but never fall on 22 March (within Europe).

It is thought that Cramond may be the "Rumabo" listed in the 7th-century Ravenna Cosmography - the original form of the name perhaps being "Carumabo".Ravenna Cosmography - R&C; 190, 191-200 , The Roman Map of BritainCarumabo Cramond , The Roman Map of Britain Other stones found at the fort include a centurial stone of Legio II Augusta, and an altar "To Jupiter Optimus Maximus" erected by the fifth cohort of Gauls. Cramond Lioness The most famous sculpture is the Cramond Lioness recovered from the mouth of the River Almond in 1997. The sculpture, in a non- local white sandstone, shows a lioness devouring her prey, a naked bearded male torso.

Navio fort was originally about in size and built of timber and earthworks around 80 CE. It was rebuilt in stone in a rectangular form (about ) around 150 CE from when it was occupied for over 200 years. It was subsequently rebuilt and altered and in use until around 350 CE. The site of the fort now consists of earthwork banks and ditches around an earthen platform, buried remains and a few exposed stone slabs. Earlier excavations in 1903 by John Garstang uncovered steps into an underground stone-walled chamber below the Principia or headquarters building. A large Centurial stone and a gritsone altar were found in the fort's strong room.

Sections of agger from these two northbound rounds have been identified and excavated. There was also a Roman Road (Margary Number 713) between Buxton and Leek (which may be the Roman town of Chesterton) whose course joins the present A53 road towards Leek at Morridge Top. The convergence of roads upon Aquae Armetiae, led Edward Tristram in 1916 to deduce the possible location of a fort in the town to the south of the market place by the current Bath Road. Centurial Stone from Navio Roman Fort Plaque by Buxton to Derby Roman Road Navio fort guarded the route northwest to the larger fort of Melandra.

The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most of the world.Dershowitz & Reingold 2008, p. 45. "The calendar in use today in most of the world is the Gregorian or new-style calendar designed by a commission assembled by Pope Gregory XIII in the sixteenth century." It is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in October 1582. The calendar spaces leap years to make its average year 365.2425 days long, approximating the 365.2422-day tropical year that is determined by the Earth's revolution around the Sun. The rule for leap years is: > Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for > years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap > years if they are exactly divisible by 400.
