It took me a while, but I have three new equivalents that could fit our 1000 posts members. My defintion of these members would be related to a special elite section of an army such as an imperial guard. I therefore looked among roman ranks and found the name of "Tribune". A Tribune is the leader of an entire legion and is therfore above the Centurion. Then I proceeded and looked into Byzance. I came up with two other ranks: a "Tumark" who is the leader of a Turn (Byzantinian Legion) and check this one out: a "Protospatharian" who is a superior elite officer of the Byzantinian Imperial guard.
