The amount varied over time, but a good average would be 200 denarii a month. The denarii was a silver coin similar to the US dollar as the basis of the Roman monetary system.
You can gauge this against the cost of some common items:
Of course, the monetary system wildly fluctuated over the years, so there is no definative answer unless you get very specific with the time you are talking about. However, saying 200 denarii a month is a good ballpark figure to answer your question.
The ordinary Roman soldiers were paid as follows: under Marius they were paid 450 sesterces a year; under Julius Caesar the pay was doubled to 900 sesterces a year and they didn't get a raise until Domitian in 89 AD when he raised the pay to 1200 sesterces. They were not paid all at once; they were paid three times a year. Of course, the centurions an other officers and the legate of the legion were paid considerably more.
According to an existing record of a soldier in 83 AD, he was paid 247 drachmas every four months. Which would make his annual salary 741 drachmas. (This particular unit was paid in drachmas) However out of each stipendium, or installment of his pay, money was deducted for his food, fodder for the mule, boots and clothing if needed, and any camp festivals. There were times when a soldier would only get maybe 45 or 46 drachmas/denarii for his four months work.
250 denarii a year. Denarii is a roman coin used in the New Testament
an average wage for a Roman soldier would be $54,000.
The US payed the Revo. soldiers with land. But you have to realize America's army was mostly citizens. The citizens didn't get as much as the real army though
