That is for the 240 men units, yes. Smaller units, of course, come cheaper around. When the town is not close to revolution these do as well.

but I prefer to use an actual infantry unit as a garrison unit. Feels better that way.
Me too. I use locals as much as possible. That was the reason to make this guide; alternative the player could also just take the money from those provinces to raise hunderds of Roman units in Italy, ignoring local forces.
