    Default Gracchan Reforms

    Under the reforms of the Gracchii brothers in the late 130sBC, the property requirements to serve in the legions were lowered (from 11,000 to 3,000 for the fifth class).

    I've seen some people mention that there was also some standardisation of equipment to reflect this, that essentially the hastati and triarii disappeared.

    Is there anything to support this idea, and if so how would it affect a historically accurate post-Gracchan, but pre-Marian Roman army?

    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
