Thanks for the information. Since it seems the Hastati/Principii/Triarii system didn't seem to go out until Marius, I'm beginning to rethink our decision to roll the principii and hastati into one unit, as we begin the campaign in 217bc, right as the 2nd Punic war starts.
And on the cavalry, We had guessed that Italian and Gallic allied cavalry had taken over for the old Equites. We were quite hung up on the sword that would be used. So a spatha/celtic type or long hispaniensis will fit the bill, along with Gallic or Italic equipment?
