II Salt salary Romans etc are written by an author whose name
just I do not remember now. but truth is loyalty of service is as true to
salt . So reality is.... ... Tributum, properly speaking, was a Tax upon
Individuals; one sort of it was called Capitatio, a Poll-tax *(sic)*.
Besides the aforementioned Taxes, there were several Excises, as that
formerly mentioned laid on by Cato upon Luxury and Expenses; which perhaps
was only temporary. There was a Salt Tax laid on very early. Ancus Martius
made the first Magazines of Salt. Salarium or Salary is derived from
Sal. *Tables
Of Ancient Coins, Weights, And Measures (1754)*-

There is no mention of soldiers, only of taxes.
Neither is there a direct reference to soldiers' pay by Pliny the Elder
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliny_the_Elder>, at least at this point:
All the amenities, in fact, of life, supreme hilarity, and relaxation from
toil, can find no word in our language to characterize them better than
this. Even in the very honours, too, that are bestowed upon successful
warfare, salt plays its part, and from it, our word "salarium" is
derived. *Pliny
the Elder, The Natural History
<http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0137:book=31:chapter=41&highlight=salarium>*
Pliny seems to be referring to rewards, rather than salary as we now
understand it.
*Salary* arrives in English from Vulgar Latin. It came through French
<https://www.etymonline.com/word/salary> rather than directly from
Classical Latin. The word (el salario
<http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/salary>) also exists in Spanish. It
must be thought that the word had been used for many centuries to refer to
compensation of some sort before being taken into account in English. Roman
soldiers were certainly issued salt as part of their compensation,
otherwise Roman armies could never have made the great marches and fought
the grand battles. No doubt Roman soldiers thought of salt as important.
But it does not seem "paid in salt" was ever a common practice.
"To be worth one's salt" is an idiom in English that has no certain origin.
Possibly Roman soldiers had a similar understanding about salt. As the
Roman soldiers were the principle purveyors of Vulgar Latin in the Roman
Empire, salt may well have been considered a valuable compensation,
valuable enough to give its name to "pay".
IV Baby's so called name bones are virtually, are termed cartilage,
which later become bones by fusion.
VII Blades cannot be dissolved by HCL in the stomach. No. Despite
prevalent claims, this is not the case. Dr Reddy said that HCL in the
stomach cannot melt metals but “can cause rusting”. Giving examples from
his own practice, he shared, “Any foreign body consumed will stay in the
stomach longer.
