    That depends on what your idea is of pretty accurate. It is linked by what you personally find important to be reflected, you personal knowledge on the matter if such even exists,...

    certainly there were historical elements, fantastical elements, medium imposed elements,...

    I'm not one to judge what is good or bad. But we of Europa Barbarorum obviously united because we felt a different way of depiction would be more conform to our taste.

    Well, put it this way - of the four units you posted, only the Velites are correct. All the others were incorrect in some way.

    EB versions:

    Shield strapped to left arm, not held in the left hand - pike held in both hands.

    And that's just the external appearance - not getting into the stats (overpowered Romans)
