There wasen't any, because there was no unit of a hundred men. A centurion commanded 80 men. His designation did not come from the prefex meaning one hundred, it came from the voting assemblies, which were called "centuries".

What do you call a roman officer that is in command of 100 soldiers?

There was no Roman officer in command of 100 men. There is a misconception that a centurion commanded 100 men, but this is false. The Roman army had no unit consisting of 100. An officer called a centurion, commanded a century which was 80 men. According to some military historians, the title "centurion" did not originate from the root word for one hundred, centum, but from the root word centuria, which was the voting assembly. The army kept this term, in my opinion, for the sole purpose of confusing students 2000 years in the future.

Centurion it used to be a hundred men but over time it fell to 80 men to a century,which by the late first century AD would have been made up like this: MEN TOTAL 6 centuries of 80 men 480 {one cohort} 10 cohorts made up a legion thus: 9 cohorts of 480 men 4,320 men The first cohort was double sized and made up of ten centuries of 800 men 800 + 4,320= 5,120 men
