I don't believe any ever did, except for some speculation about Sarmatian horse archers or such. I think the medical inspection would eliminate women.
However, there is no reason why (we fought over this question years ago) that women can't portray legionaries in our events. Particularly when many of the guys are too old and overweight to look like young soldiers anyway. As long as they keep in mind that there weren;t any women Roman soldiers when talking to the public why not? And if you want cavalry, how many guys know how to ride anyway?
