This seems like a very large number of units on the strategic battlefield! Don't get me wrong -- it may very well be historically reasonable -- but I typically play with many fewer resources at my disposal during my own Roman campaign.
By province i mean... you know, Gaul is a province, Greece is a province, Africa is a province, Spain is a province. Maybe province is the wrong word i guess.

Once i conquer Gaul and Spain in their entirety i'll raise the number of legions and set a fixed frontier as historically was.

So, right now i have 1 consular army for the entire Italian peninsula, barring Bononia and Patavium which i haven't yet conquered but am about to do. I also have 1 legion (10-man army) stationed in Italy since my army is constantly fighting up in the north and the actual peninsula is left naked otherwise, and Carthage seem to have a thing for picnics outside Arpi, because they just sent a 2-star general there with another half a stack to pillage.
