As the empire expanded, there were not enough Italians (citizens) to fill the ranks of the army so the Romans hired auxiliaries from the various provinces. Most times the client kings were required to supply a certain number of troops to the army. This worked out well for the Romans as certain provincials "specialized" in areas where the Romans did not excel. Examples of this would be the Batavians, known for their horsemanship. There were also slingers and archers among the auxiliaries. The majority of the Roman cavalry consisted of auxiliaries led by a Roman officer.

In what ways did the ancient Roman army impact Rome?

The Roman army was extremely important in the spreading of roman culture. The main way that it expanded roman culture was that the legionnaires who made up the majority of the early to imperial roman army were allowed to settle in territories their legion had conquered. For example many of the soldiers of the Roman legions that conquered the majority of Britain settled there. Many of these soldiers married a local women and this led to quite a rapid transformation of the culture. As many of these soldiers had children, the population would start to become more Roman until what was left was a fusion of Roman and local culture.

In ancient times roman soldiers recived bags of this minerals as their pay?

.It is sometimes said that in the early days Roman soldiers were paid in salt and that the word salary is derived from the Latin for salt (sal). This is not true. Roman soldiers were paid in money right for the start, right from the time of the introduction of pay for the soldiers. The historical record says that soldiers were paid in money and it is possible to reconstruct the times when this monetary remuneration was increased. Moreover, their pay was called stipendium, not salarium. This misconception originated from Pliny the Elder, who stated that "[I]n Rome. . .the soldier's pay was originally salt and the word salary derives from it...". However, this was just speculation about a distant past the Romans had forgotten and Pliny was nor a historian. He was a naturalist. It is more likely that the soldiers may have been given an allowance to buy salt at times of was because at such times its price shot up. Salt was very important in those days because it was the most important preservative for food
