what bugs me on MC's pic is that after killing 1000 units the sarmatians only gained one experience...thats not enough in my eyes
Actually I think there's some distortion on experience gained in battles when the unit also has casualties healed.

Here's another Elites versus Peasants battle I set up after my previous post.



When the battle had finished, all the units involved lost experience they'd gained in battle. For example, my Infantry Auxilia had 4 experience prior to the end of the battle, but only 2 when the results screen comes up. There was only 21 of them left and an average of 4 experience between each man. Another 17 were healed, but it appears the healed units don't get 4 experience, they possibly get whatever experience they had before they died. Possibly even 0 experience, or whatever they had when the battle started (again 0). This brings the overall average experience level down to 2 for the unit.

This happens to every other unit involved in the battle. They've all lost experience when the healed men returned to the unit. It's possible in MC's pic that the unit had gained 2 experience, but after the 13 men recovered, their lack of experience brought the overall unit experience gained down to 1. In any case, you don't often get much experience for killing routers, and even in this screeny, 3 experience for killing almost 3000 men isn't much.
