I could be this too

Skuda Tabari .
They're mean .
Satyros
If I actually lived in that time period, id prolly end up as a freed slave :beam:
Kataphraktoi.
I'm rich bitch
Praetorian Guard definately. the best troops in the best army of the ancient world seems to be the unit i would want to be in.
With a slightly better-than-average understanding of math & physics I'd probably get drafted into the siege engineers, likely some very junior (because I'm not brilliant at either) post. Suits me fine.
But considering my actual location I'd probably end up being the guy working on the Frisianpirateehm, mercantile ships... <_<
Basilikon Agema or Galatikoi Kleruchoi all the way.
Since my heritage is quite mixed up (1/2 Dutch, 1/4 Turkish, 1/4 Algerian) I could have ended up with these guys
Yuezhi horse-archers: We've pretty much traced back our Mongolian heritage as well.
Cappadocian hillmen: My family in Anatolia would probably have been drafted into military service at some point.
Some-spear-wielding Belgian: Since we lived south of the rhine, there is a great chance that when the Romans invaded, my family here was drafted into service to wipe out these invaders.
There's also a pretty good chace of becoming Emporer if you're in the Praetorian Guard, albeit, not for long >.<Quote:

Fights with freaking axes, got javelins, cool helmets, equally cool shields and armour, bigasss greaves. Both their axes and greaves are modified to be used as climbing tools as well as weapons, they are famed for their acrobatic skills, and have a rather advanced martial arts training, as well as being famous javelineers, and fanatic soldiers who often lose themselves in a battle frenzy. How much freaking cooler can you get? These guys are like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in one unit, armed with axes and able to scale sheer surfaces. Freaking awesome, no wonder Alexander conquered the world with these badasses at his command.
Now, considering where I live and what my heritage is, I guess I would be a Druhtiz Skandzisku
https://i232.photobucket.com/albums/...andzisku-1.gif
Pretty cool as well, but nothing to the Agrianians.
Who can recruit these guys?Quote:

What units are those? I've never seen them before.
You should know them, nuragic infantry and liby-phoenician agema
Phoenician scum.
I don't deal with child-murderers :P
But seriously, they look pretty cool. Do you have north-African origins?
Nuragic scum in that case.
I'm Sardinian and trying to improve the historical accuracy in various mod about that tiny little island in western mediterranean...
Considering my origins I'll probably be one of thoses... (If I was lucky enough to survive...)

Tekastos
But If I was to follow my wish I'll be one of those :
https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/u...rs_evocata.gif
Evocati
There is a lot of good reasons to this, and among them the fact you're immunes... No more Ad latrinas apparently... :-P
I'd want to be the Greek medium cavalry, the Hippeis. I'd probably be well off if not slightly rich, wouldn't get used in any major heavy combat, probably paid well, and can run away real fast if it all starts to hit the fan, as it were.
EDIT: Besides I've always fancied myself a hippie.
I would so obviously be in the Massalian Royal Guard!!! Semi-hellenized Solduros make extreme bad-asses... :skull:

Naked Fanatic - It's so f**ing hot these days :sweatdrop:
Ideally, either a cataphract of some sort, armored to the teeth and impervious to the blows I receive while smashing, rending and slaughtering my enemies in droves.
or
At the opposite end, some sort of well armed mounted archer with a VERY fast horse, able to shoot down enemies from a safe distance and run the hell away before being caught!
Also a great likelyhood that I'd inadvertently end up some sort of Gaesatae as well-looking on my younger days, when faced with physical confrontation, I had a scary tendency to really just go berzerk, sort of see red, and become 100% aggressive without a thought for my own well being left- really weird, I was a skinny little 145lb guy at the time and actually scared off several guys much bigger/stronger than myself, that could have easily twisted me into a pretzel. Fear does strange things to me sometimes.
If I were to live back then:

With today's mentality:

Or none at all (why be in danger?).
