A mercenary is someone hired to temporarily serve in a foreign army, they are normally specialized fighters with a specific skill, for example, archery. Unlike an official soldier of an army, a mercenary doesn't serve for political interests but for money or any other personal interest.

In the Roman Empire, mercenaries were non-Roman citizens hired to fortify the Empire's borders from any external attack or offensive. If they served for 25 years, they were given citizenship and rewarded with a plot of land to farm in their retirement.
