Javelinmen/ Light infantry?

[Gaius Honorius Felix]

Ave,
Does anyone out there do a javelinman/ light infantry impression for the period after the marius reforms to about the end of the 2nd century? I mean something simmilar to velites. Did some digging around the fourms and couldn't find anything as well as on the net. All I could find was either velites or slingers. Couldn't even find something on Legio XX's website! hock: Anyway, what type of gear would they have carried? A picture would be nice if you have one.
Thanks.

Viaromana have a nice impression of a light armoured spearman/javelineer using the Danvm (Doncaster) shield reconstruction.

There are two references of javelinman of this period.

First are the antesignae: “who fights in front of the bannersâ€

Here is a reconstruction of a light infantry shield being used by a member (far right) of LEG XIIII G

Since the shield design is known for Legio XIIII, I chose to go with the standard design for this shield also.
