Romans used special "brothel tokens" to pay for sex.

To defeat the language barrier faced by soldiers stationed throughout the Empire, the army came up with these tokens, which featured a full range of sexual activities and positions.

The coins (spintriae) had different values based on the sexual activity depicted. All the soldiers had to do was point and pay. Clever.
