when soldiers went to sleep they needed the wood for fires and sharpening weapons so they needed an axe to help cut down the trees
Coins, just like today.Salt was also used, as Rome's major highway was called the Via Salaria (Salt Road): along that road, Roman soldiers transported salt crystals from the salt flats at Ostia up the Tiber river. In return, they received a salarium or salary, which was literally money paid to soldiers to buy salt. The old saying "worth their/its salt" (to be valuable) derives from this custom of payment during the Roman Empire.
Soldiers in the Roman army lived in forts which were permanent stations. If they were on the move, they used marching camps for each night away from their home fort. Sometimes the larger towns or cities had soldiers' barracks or camps just outside the town's walls, such as the Praetorian camp in Rome.
Stoning was used as a severe punishment in the Roman Military as well as clubbing.
