Why no armoured cavalry for 105-25bc roman army list?
I know after the reforms of Marius the cavalry and light troops were not supplied by legions but recruited from conquered and adjacent areas,these areas included gaul, german,macedonia,thracia,spain,Illyria, greece and others.But in this army list the roman only have the germanic/gallic cavalry(barbarian noble cavalry).There must be some cavalry recruited from the spain,greece and thracia just like the pompeians did in the civil war,these places' cavalries should use the epic armoured cavalry model and in their army list they are.So,is there any idea to add the armoured cavalry and veteran armoured cavalry units to the 105-25bc roman army list?

The Roman 105-25 BC list does have armoured cavalry. If the list included multiple types of armoured cavalry, the overall proportion of cavalry would be too high. As the Gallic and German cavalry were more commonly used, we chose to use those models.

Only need to add a "epic" armoured cavalry unit to generalize the cavalries recruited from the spain,greece and other "civilized" adjacent areas,only need one,this will only make the list's melee cavalry units' number to 3(barbarian noble cavalry,armoured barbarian noble cavalry,armoured cavalry,and only the armoured barbarian noble cavalry's quality is superior),will not overall proportion of cavalry too high.rbodleyscott wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 8:18 am If the list included multiple types of armoured cavalry, the overall proportion of cavalry would be too high.

Not sure what you mean by "epic".
