Land Grants
A field to fight, another to live.Unlike the Roman system of military remuneration, little is known about the Sassanids' methods of paying their standing troops. However, it is known that the army worked in a very feudal sense, with authority trickling down from the Shahanshah to the lesser provincial kings, and then to their subjects. Conscription was enforced; men were drawn to fight for their lord because they were expected to. What is known, however, is that the Sassanid government granted several different land tenures; some private, some state-led, and some communal. Whilst this is information gleaned from their agricultural records, the feudal nature of the army implies that the surviving men, once demobilised, would wish to return to a rural life. A tenure from the government would, therefore, provide the perfect payment.
