In ancient Persia, soldiers who were paid were known as "sparabara" or "immortals." The sparabara were part of the infantry, often equipped with shields and spears, while the Immortals were an elite unit of 10,000 soldiers who formed the backbone of the Persian military. These paid troops played a crucial role in maintaining the stability and expansion of the Persian Empire. Their compensation often included land, provisions, and other benefits, reflecting the importance of a well-supported military in Persian society.

How much did the black soldiers get paid in Vietnam war?

fifty percent -- White soldiers were paid $13 per month while black soldiers were paid $10 with a $3 deduction for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. To answer your question, then; black soldiers were paid $6 dollars less than white soldiers, almost half as much. This was ended with the equal pay act passed by Congress in June, 1864 where it was stipulated that black soldiers would receive the same pay, supplies, etc. as white soldiers.
