Isn't it a foot unit general or centurion or how to call it (I mean that man which makes the additional 2 men with standard bearer)

That's been there for ages.

He's got those "pinion" thingys at the shoulders, and those were Officers Only weren't they ? And the kinky-looking thing hanging over them privates only came to use during the Principate IIRC.

I'm betting on either late-period infantry officer, or one of the late-period units that have since then gotten reskinned.

He is the Romans army icon on the map when the army has no general.

ah! you got it Sdragon, great eyes, thanks! but im a bit deluded too

i thought it was somethink new the EB team was preparing for the legionaries... I must be sincere, i dont like very much those big faces, in the new skins for imperial units... so i hoped they were adding new heads...

ok never mind

i will take the big faces!
