Quote:Could this ceremony coincide with a stipendia? Could they get their salary on the same day the adorn the signa with roses?Other evidence suggests that Roman soldiers were paid on 1 January, 1 May, and 1 September (e.g. Fink, Roman Military Records 66, which I cannot locate online). The Rosalia does not fall on these days.
Quote:Even if the ceremony is held in two separated days? It could be useful, since it's best not to pay everybody the same day (think about the logistics..).Marcus might not be happy if he doesn't get paid on the same day as Sextus. And they both own sharp swords. ;-) I think it's best to pay them on the same day.
