I never heard of korean soldiers being paid in US script......in 1951

US scrip (not script) was used in the Korean War to pay soldiers, and it was the currency at the bases. I know this because my father was a clerk for the first month of his service there and would run between 75,000 to 100,000 dollars worth of scrip from his base to an Air Force Base. From there it would be eventually transferred to Japan and back to the States.

How would a roman soldier arm himself?

Up to 107 BC the Roman army was a citizen militia of peasant-proprietors. The soldiers were drafted by the state and there was a property threshold for the draft. This was because the soldiers had to provide and pay for their military equipment themselves. They did so out of their income from their farming activities. The landless poor were not drafted. The Marian reforms of the army of 107 BC abolished the property threshold and made joining the army voluntary. They also introduced standard military equipment and made the state pay for it. Therefore, the state procured the military gear for the soldiers.
