Description
The fast but expensive Troopers are the Classical Age infantry counter. In groups they are strong but are vulnerable to cavalry and counter archers. To keep them alive, they need to be accompanied by Hastati. Although they are trained from the stable, they are actually mounted-archers and benefit from archer technologies.

***
Although the Romans were mainly renowned for their melee units, they did have their own share of archers, most of them being auxilia. Also known as troopers, the Eques Alaris rode on horses around the enemy troops. Their tasks was to harass the enemy by throwing spears at them. The spears rarely made kills and were mainly to distract or wound the enemy, making it easier for the melee units to fight back. Despite being an auxiliary unit, the Eques Alaris were well paid.

Doesn't that seem like a little two much?
Removed/or make the Equis Alaris a scenario editor unit, because really it's just a Turma with a slightly different look and stats, and replaced it with another Cavalry Unit.
The Romans aren't really unique if they have a billion copied units from the Atlanteans/Norse, more like a clone.
