    Depends on where the cities are. Javelin troops are usually the ones that gives you the largest unit size for the least upkeep cost.

    Yeah, this is sorta what I was implying in my response.

    In Italy proper, I generally don't need garrisons. I use family members. Outside, where family members are not sufficient, I usually use 4-8 skirmishers as public order demands.

    I'm pretty building oriented, tho, so I don't have a whole heck of a lot of public order problems.

    I'm 100 % sure Rome has Vigiles in Marian times, at least in 1.0.

    i agree with the whole skirmisher garrison where ever possible, as they are definitely the cheapest available for their size. since you're (obviously) playing as Romani i thought i'd share a tip slightly related to garrisons.
    i'm pretty sure you get annoyed by the spawning rebel armies and don't like having to raise an army to fight them and then disband them or using one of your main armies to do it, so here's my suggestion: for every 2/3 neighbouring provinces field a small army with a general and have him build a fort in the centre of them or wherever possible. this way whenever a rebel stack appears you can rally out and attack them before retraining and returning to fort and waiting for another opportunity. if a rebel army is too big for one 'militia' army to take on then combine two and go from there! i suggest a small army of 1 FM, 1 leves and 3 hastati/rorarii. and the upside of this is that you always have experienced soldiers who can be used in wars as well! hope this helps
    Pull the trigger and hope it clicks

    i do something similar, except i group my my empire by their geographical sectors, and I field a mid-tier army in each of them, led by a general recruited locally, I can use them to bolster my invasion of a neighbouring region when required, and they provide a good pool of auxillia to recruit from through rebel swamping.

    thats what i do as well, I keep one army in spain, one in gaul, one in italy, and so on..then wherever my front line is thats where all my main legions are stationed.
