Hey, @BretDevereaux, can you write something about (or send a link to) historical inequality in pay between different ranks of soldiers?

But his numbers are that a regular soldier in the legions got 900HS per year. An auxiliary gets 5/6ths of that. There are then regular soldiers who are 1.5x and 2x pay. Lowest ranking centurion is 15x, primus ordo is 30x, primus pilus is 60x.
Note that the discharge/retirement payment (the praemium) seems to have been a multiple of pay-at-discharge so the retirement bonus for a highly ranked centurion could be truly massive.

I presume the actually elite commanders, like the tribunes, were expected to have capital income, so no need for a wage?

That seems to be right, yes.
