Post Marius though, the legionary format did mean that men from different countries did march as legionaires though? That much is true isn't it?
Also, when you look at the Lunar Empire as presented in WB&RM and many of the counters you get a distinctly Roman rather than Persian feeling.
We had years of Roman type fun/artwork/stories in Glorantha before the Persian idea.
