As I mentioned before in other posts, there is a Hungarian wargame event called Historikum held several times a year. In this September together with my friend we fought a Hail Caesar battle on this event. My Republican Roman army encountered his Pyrrhic force. This battle report is written by him:

The best and most experienced soldiers in the Republican Roman Legion were the triarii. They were recruited from the wealthier and older citizens who had been participated many campaigns throughout their life. Obviously my Republican Roman army needed some units of triarii - in this case two units of them. In contrast with other legionaries, triarii used hasta (spear) instead of pilum and also had more armour.
