    Roman Cavalry has higher stats than the post-Marian unit that replaces it. I would keep those guys for sure.

    Roman cavalry is the post-Marian Equite, IIRC.

    I had around 2 full stacks of pre-Marian legionnaires and I just sent them off to conquer Iberia, then Numidia, then Sicily. I just combined stacks when they got too small and used mercs to bolster their ranks. I ended the game with still almost a full stack.

    Then it is the other way around, the pre-marian unit is better than Roman Cavalry. By 1 attack point, or some tiny difference.

    hastati and principes are not obsolete.

    hastati are better than their pm counterpart.

    Principes are almost as good.

    Triarii are terrible, but they're still very good troops relative to the inf that other factions have.
