They're different units...different names, different places of origin, and so on.

We currently have a choice for skirmishers - have them carry extra javelins in their off hand/shield hand, or not. We can't change it so they "use" the javelins. They're either there, or they are not. For many units they will remain there. For the Romans no, we decided not to because of the clipping issues this would cause with the Testudo, among other things.
