This is indeed what most authorities think, though a recent article pleaded the cause for equality in pay for auxiliary and legionary personel. Then there is also the problem why legionaries are transferring to the <i> auxilia</i> (and get promoted, so not likely to have been a punishment) and Roman citizens are recruited into auxiliary regiments. So this got me thinking whether perhaps auxiliary infantrymen would receive different pay according to their legal and social position, either <i> peregrinus</i> or <i> civis Romanus</i>.<br>
