From the blue theme, these legionaries must have been from the roman house of Scippii. The earlier legions weren't as armored, instead it was leather, steel was only worn by officers. But around 230 BC they revolutionized the uniform and made these guys :P pretty smart of them too. After they where given better armor, equipment and training, they became one of the most elite fighting forces in the world at the time.

Why? Because it was their colour in computer game, Rome: Total War? If you want to state something about historical feature, use historical sources, not games. Kid.

Well SOR-RY. I'm just taking a wild guess. I know the romans main color was red because they believed they where the sons of the god mars (of war) but I heard the blue shields are for amphibious assault units. God...
