Then I have to assume that there were no formalized auxiliary units in the late Republic, only mercenary units hired on an 'as needed' basis. It would certainly make sense that there would be no Greek 'heavy infantry' since the Roman defeat of the Macedonians had proven the superiority of the flexible Roman units over the phalanxes. Why bother to hire a force of inferior quality for work the legions could do. All in all, I guess, in light of this information, I will need to 'rethink' the hero of the graphic novel I am writing<br>
