In New Testament times, Roman legionaries (common soldiers) were typically paid 225 denarii per year. This pay was often subject to deductions for equipment, food, and other expenses. While the denarius was a silver coin, its purchasing power was significantly higher than a modern dollar. Some sources suggest it was equivalent to a day's wage for a laborer.
