Hammer and Anvil. Triarii anvil(either kind), and For the Hammer, Preferrably Equites Extrordinarii, but reg'lar old Equites Romani will work.

Equites Romani are a terrible unit for charging. They manage to kill only few soldiers per charge and won't last long in melee. Curepos is a great unit for the task if you don't have Equites Extraordinarii.

Humm archers are also good,especialy if used from the back so try somehow to have some and use two lines of infantry on them to keep them in line so one line of quality infantry and backing them something weak.

yeah, but they shoot also your own units ^^


Equites Romani are weak indeed, they are great to hunt down routing enemies. To use them as a Hammer makes sense provided that 1. they attack downhill , 2. your Anvil units are strong and superior in numbers to lower the enemies moral (maybe you wait until the enemy is exhausted..), 3. you use 2 or 3 units of equites per enemy unit and most important: you draw them back if the enemy doesn't rout immediately and attack again.

Well that's why i said to move them behind the Gaesatae.
And since they don't have armour in comparission to your legions it's harder for them.
