Basically a evolution of the republician army,the armor they wear is the lorica hamata and rorarii(Loved those guys)are gone and replaced with the velites.Equites have the hamata also and triarii are the only hasta users now instead of using a sarissa?

No - a famous historian. Our best accounts of the Punic Wars come to us from the quill of Polybius.

Probably. But first I suggest doing a Google Search. You can probably discover many interesting things about him that way. It's fast and easy.
