The fact that the Roman Empire ruled over most of the known world notwithstanding and had "Augustan" armies all over over the place is actually weaker than the case for other extra units? EB is already full of units, sometimes with blurry distinctions. Take for example Gaeilache and Gaeroas: they are virtually identical. Tindanotae and Gaesatae too. The fact that the Marian and Augustan Cohorts are seemingly indentical does not state that they are the only case neither that they should be removed, otherwise we could just cut down on Gaeilache and Tindanotae, and maybe even replace the whole rosters with identical "warband" generic units. Rome is already a very "generic" and standardised faction: removing the Augustans so that there can be five similar incarnations of Gaeroas does not help and the original EB already included pretty much everything of importance that could be seen for all factions without greater problems.
