Er jo et godt gammelt ordtak dette, men er du klar over at det engelske ordet Salary som betyr loenn, stammer fra Romertiden da soldatene ble betalt med salt ? (Derav Salary)
Fra Wikipedia
Similarly, the Roman word salarium linked employment, salt and soldiers, but the exact link is very clear. The latest common theory is that the word soldier itself comes from the Latin sal dare (to give salt), but previous theories were on the same ground. Alternatively, the Roman historian Pliny the Elder stated as an aside in his Natural History's discussion of sea water, that "[I]n Rome. . .the soldier's pay was originally salt and the word salary derives from it...".[4] Others note that soldier more likely derives from the gold solidus, with which soldiers were known to have been paid, and maintain instead that the salarium was either an allowance for the purchase of salt[5] or the price of having soldiers conquer salt supplies and guard the Salt Roads (Via Salaria) that led to Rome.[
I alle fall anbefaler jeg aa se programserien – How Stuff Works paa den amerikanske Netflix siden. Salt er en av de tingene de beskriver, her er linken til Youtube versjonen
