In origin, tarentines came from Taras (latin Tarentum), but in late hellenistic period they are a type of light cavalry, like cretans are a type of archers. There is a good plate of tarentines in Sekunda´s book Ptolemaic reformed armies, Montvert publications.

Use roman legionaries with hellenistic helmets heads... only if you are skilled at cutting heads and you can spare the extra figurines
