Rent An Army: How Much Does It Actually Cost?
Many people have heard the phrase the world's oldest profession and know that it doesn’t refer to soldiers, but on record the world's oldest profession is actually that of the mercenary. While today the word has an extremely negative connotation, in the past being a mercenary was a perfectly acceptable and even respectable line of work. In fact, it was only in the last few hundred years that standing national armies became the norm around the world, meaning that for most of human history wars were fought by men and women paid good coin to put their lives on the line. Today we're going to look at the use of mercenaries throughout history, and end with the greatest mercenary battle of the modern age.
