How much was a roman legionary paid?
A legionary would be paid in metal coins (denarii). From each soldier's pay there was deducted the cost of the food issued to that soldier, panis sordis, "dirty [brown] bread" (the kind for anyone who was not rich). There was also a pay deduction for the cost of weapons, armor and other equipment the soldier was issued, and also another pay deduction for what each soldier was issued to drink. This tended to be a weak alcohol, since it took longer to go bad and it was good for disinfecting things. Total pay BEFORE deductions would vary based on rank. Each private in a legion would get about 20 denarii each month, or, before Julius Caesar increased the pay, it used to be half that. On the other hand, if you were one of the centurions -- officers who commanded 100 soldiers each -- then you would get 300 denarii each month. If you were an enlisted man in a legion of the Praetorian Guard, in charge of guarding the Emperor, and his residence {palatium) in Rome, and the other very important people, then you would get 60 denarii each month. The higher pay was to discourage traitors among the Praetorian Guard, but this did not really work very well. In the first century A. D., a middle-class civilian secretary would get about 15 denarii each month. If you wanted to buy a tunic to wear, it would cost a little less than 4 denarii. If you wanted to buy a cheap slave, the slave would cost about 500 denarii.
How much did the roman soldiers get payed?
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:A bath or haircut would cost you around 2 denarii.A loaf of bread cost around 5-10 denarii.A tailor could make around 25-50 denarii a day.A pair of good leather work shoes cost between 100-150 denarii.A cow could go for around 500 denarii a head.A slave could cost anywhere from 20,000 denarii and higher.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.

It is actually quite difficult to know an exact price of a Roman brooch during Hadrian's reign. However, one can speculate based on what we know about exchange rates during that time period. A typical bronze brooch would have likely been rather cheap, around 1 or 2 denarii. However, the price would have jumped up over 25 denarii for a silver brooch, and a gold would have been reserved for the select few at over 600 denarii.
