Decanus means "chief of ten" in Late Latin. The term originated in the Roman army and became used thereafter for subaltern officials in the Byzantine Empire, as well as for various positions in the Church, whence derives the English title "dean". It is unrelated to the position of deacon (Latin diaconus, Greek διάκονος).
Il decano (dal greco deca, dieci, in latino decanus) era uno dei gradi della catena di comando dell'esercito romano.
