Shouldn't post-Marian reforms allow the recruitment of Roman type units in Romanized provinces, at least at some level (ie, Vigiles at least)?
Also, as a balance issue, shouldn't pre-Marian Roman units be significantly cheaper than their equivilent Hellenic counterparts either in purchase or maintenance (especially considering the impending nerfing of the Triarii). Reasoning here is, the Roman Republic had a significant manpower advantage over it's Greek counterparts, even if their weapons and tactics weren't as good, and this is what allowed them to prevail early on, especially against Carthage.
