Ecnomus

You may have given the (a possible) answer yourself. It's because those legionaries were not just aboard ship to stand around and be transported. There was still a big fleet out there that would've become mostly ineffective without marines on board. It is, after all, not necessary to suppose that all legionaries aboard this fleet were even supposed to be part of the expeditionary army.
Greets!
