After all, it was there that hundreds of ships moored, carrying military equipment, food, money and new legionnaires who were supposed to continue expanding the borders of the empire. It is likely that the town of Rutupia at the landing site soon turned into a central port. Roman Britain/Photo Wikipedia Archaeological sites of the Roman eraДЄ fort and an amphitheater were found not far from the likely landing site of the Roman legions. It is interesting that the future emperor, Titus Flavius вЂ‹вЂ‹Vespasian, who commanded the II Augusta legion, took part in the campaign. Soon the southeastern part of the island was conquered by legions. They were led by Aulus Plautius, and the campaign was sanctioned by the then Emperor Claudius. It all began in AD 43, when about four legions and auxiliary units of the army of Rome landed near the modern British city of Ramsgate, Kent. Great Britain today, but hundreds of years ago it was the Roman province of Britain. Archaeologists are constantly learning something new by excavating ancient archaeological sites. Thanks to its powerful legions, the вЂњRoman peaceвЂќ spread beyond Italy, reaching modern Georgia in the east and Britain in the west. The Roman Empire is a great state of the ancient world. Roman fort and amphitheater/English Heritage I hope this assist you on your next auxiliary shopping/conquest tour. Greatest Range (150) and good melee statsДЄrachosia, Aria, Carmania, Cilicia, Gedrosia, Media Magna, Mesopotamia, Persis The Auxiliary Cappadocian Cavalry is a little bit cheaper but with slightly worse stats also and farther away The Auxiliary Spear Brothers are ok too, but not as good 'The Rhodian Slingers have slightly better statsД«ut you get the Auxiliary Scutarii in Cartaginensis too,ДЄsia, Hellas, Macedonia, Magna Graecia (Syracusae) 'The Auxiliary Syrian Archers got slightly better ArmorД«ut i would always go for Hellas because it's closer' Д¬orsica et Sardinia, Italia, Magna GraeciaД«oth Units are a good addition to your Legion but no match to your legionariesД«aetica, Cartaginensis, Lusitania, Tarraconensis It consists of your advice and the stats on. To sum up the given information so far i've created this overview. Skirmisher Cavalry: Cantabrian (circle to dodge missile with excellent melee stats), Tarantine (good armor and melee)Д®lephants: Indian have better hp and melee attack/damage, but they both wreck melee infantry and most spearmen. Shock Cavalry: Persian is probably the best. Heavy Cavalry: Noble (gallic), Cappadocian, Scutari Light Cavalry: Iberian, Celtic/Gallic, Arabian Slingers: Rhodian or Balearic (very good vs most javelinmen with their low armor/hp) Javelinmen: Peltasts (good in melee w/ high armor and melee damage), Thracian Peltasts (high missile damage) Melee Infantry (if you get bored with legionaries): Axemen (from Alps), Scutarii Cavalry can also pick off you missile units, which are very handy for killing off skirmishers that are dangerous to your legionaries en masse. I find 2-4 units of spearmen on the flanks is enough to deter cavalry so that the legionaries can focus on infantry, which is what they are best at. They won't generally get annihilated unless charged from the flank or rear, but they will take losses. Roman generic auxiliary cavalry is pretty strong though already.On hard or higher difficulties, decent heavy cavalry will hurt legionaries. probably can be recruited in Sarmatian territories. I believe in Germania you can get longbows which can open/burn city gates undetected (if those gates are not protected by troops). In terms of useful auxiliaries: head for Spain for Balearic slingers (Rhodean ones are great too). If you play as Romans what do you want with spears? Legionaries are heavy and sturdy enough to withstand occasional AI cavalry charge.
