Much of Roman army studies have concentrated on military careers, studying various postings and their relation to each other. Modern studies often assign rank to functions and salary scales to match in a manner reminiscent of modern military practice. To what extent however is a differentiation required between function and rank, reflected in pay scales? For some functions, eg <i> exercitator</i> or cavalry instructor, inscriptions are found with men of the rank of <i> centurio</i>, <i> decurio</i> and <i> optio</i> (in the latter case likely a <i> duplicarius</i>).<br>
