<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 5465066, member: 26302"]It would be helpful if there is any literature around the topic sir. Even if they were paid in an actual aureus, I remember back to my time in the service. Yes, they paid you a monthly check, (like an aureus), but you immediately went to the PX, Finance office, or the bank to cash it and turn it into spendable money. I wonder if similar things went on with the legions on payday. If the legion did not do this for them, I am betting hoards of moneychangers followed them around to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
