Concise Bible Dictionary:

A devout centurion of Cæsarea, to whom God spoke in a vision, and to whom He sent Peter, who preached the gospel to him and to those he had invited. It led to their salvation; they received the Holy Spirit, and were baptized (Acts 10:1-31). Peter was thus opening the door of the kingdom to the Gentiles.
