   In ancient times, because salt wasn't always easy to come by (and because it was a leading way to improve flavor even back then), Roman soldiers were given a sum of money – a salarium – with which to purchase salt.
    在古时候，盐不是那么容易得到的东西，罗马士兵会领到一笔钱（salarium）专门用来买盐。慢慢的，salarium一词逐渐用来指代发给罗马帝国所有官员的钱资，直至后来，用来统指“薪水、薪资”。
