The 4 per week figures seems to be based by using salaries from the early to mid 200 and price from 300 AD which is probably inaccurate considering there was significant inflation in that period. In any case as far as we can tell the price of salt by volume was equivalent to that of wheat. Soldiers couldn't have been paid the equivalent (in coins not salt) of 4 liters of wheat per week. > have been made to the home/family of the soldier rather shipped out to them personally. I doubt soldiers generally had families in living far away from where they were station and nobody paid them in salt anyway.
