How well armoured was the Roman army?
#5
Yes, the basic equipment was deducted from their pay. But If you were wanting a nice embossed silvered belt for instance......booty would help fund that.
Caesar encouraged his men to put their booty back into their equipment.
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
