"Companion to the Roman Army"

[Kate Gilliver]

Peter Herz, who wrote that chapter, must have meant to say "1/6th less than" since he gives the relative pay as 750 to 900 HS, meaning aux get 750 and legs 900. Then in the next sentence says "each of the 120 cavalrymen in a legion received one sixth more than soldiers serving with the legionary infantry (900 to 1050 HS). But, as Jasper says, even bearing in mind that the missing "less than" didn't get picked up in the proof-reading, the sentences are not as clear as they could have been.

[Now someone's going to find a similar mistake in my chapter!!!]
