The importance of the Roman army in the social history of the Empire needs no stressing. The financial and, therefore, the social position of the soldier cannot be assessed without an estimate of the pay that he received during service and of the lumpsums or grants of land that he secured on retirement. The conclusions of A. von Domaszewski on this question have hitherto been generally accepted; but, as they have recently been sharply challenged and certainly rest too frequently on ingenious combinations which do not give the certainty claimed for them, it may be convenient to assemble and analyse the evidence once more, even if the conclusions suggested prove to agree in the main with those of Domaszewski. I shall seek to distinguish certainty from probability, and both from mere conjecture
