GATA: réactualisation de la solde ( payée en silver à l'époque) d'un soldat Romain (le plus haut gradé, qui gagnait plus qu'un légionnaire de base) comparée au salaire d'un soldat ( même pas officier, juste un GI)...MEME avec cette distorsion, ça donnerait 568.00 $ per ounce of silver in today’s dollars

Et si un légionnaire de base gagnait 40 onces / an (ce qui paraît un très faible écart ( x 2.2 seulement) avec son général en chef qui, lui était payé 88 onces /an) alors ça donne (calcul perso):

1250 $ /once de Silver...!!!

One thing that Roman History has taught anyone who wants to pay attention – maintaining an empire with far flung standing armies in the field with a “DISENTIGRATING CURRENCY” or one that is quickly turning into confetti – is quite a trick.

While soldiers of most countries are patriots – history would suggest they perhaps lose a bit of their ‘fight’ when they aren’t being compensated properly.

With all of that being said – I wonder how many folks realize that an annual wage for the highest paid soldier in the Roman Imperial Army [a job of high standing in the day] paid the equivalent of 88 ounces of silver per year. Lesser soldiers [grunts – like the ones dying in Iraq] made closer to 40 ounces of silver per year.

WAGES. Roman soldiers received top pay for coveted full time employment. The legionary from 46 B.C. to 84 A.D. received a daily wage of 10 asses or 225 denarii per year; Praetorian guardsmen received 2 denarii per day or 720 denarii per year. Domitian raised legionary annual pay by one-third to 300 denarii. Septimius Severus in 195 and Caracalla in 215 raised the annual pay to 400 and 600 denarii respectively.

Pompeian laborers in 50 B.C.-79 A.D. earned daily wages of 5 to 16 asses, but employment was seasonal. In the second century A.D. skilled miners in Dacia earned 6 to 10 asses per day plus room and board when hired on 6 or 8 month contracts.

So, if we take the highest Denarius wage [720 per year] at 3.80 grams per Denarius – we arrive at an annual wage of 88 ounces of silver or,

88 x 13.50 = 1,188.00 per year

Currently, soldiers are paid [assumption], say, 50,000 per year – so;

50,000.00 [today’s dollars] / 88 [ounces of silver per year] = 568.00 per ounce of silver in today’s dollars

Perhaps this is really what an ounce of silver is worth – not to mention GOLD!! If we get there – it’s ONLY A REVERSION TO THE MEAN!!!
