Archers would be mobile though, much more so than the artillery since they could put them on horse. You could move artillery on horse as well, but it would be slow. They are also easier to hide and there are a lot more of them. They know the terrain. Too many factors against the Marines.

arty has a 20 mile range,and those are using normal rounds.
if use the rocket assisted stuff and they can shoot out to 40 miles.
no massed amounts of troops on horse are mobile enough to avoid a gun with that range.
just ask the Poles how their horse mounted cavalry worked out when the German Panzers invaded in WWII.

I am sure they have some grapeshot anti personal rounds in their inventory also.
If they really wanted to be evil start using willy pete rounds on massed Roman infantry, it would literally be hell on earth.
Also another thing at this time in history, the Roman military has never heard a explosion on the field of battle.

I don't think they'd crowd up, Romans have knowledge and experience with area effect weapons. They were very flexible with their tactics.

no they arent,Roman legions are basically rank and file massed formations.this is how the Huns brought down the Romans. They picked the battlefields instead of letting the Romans pick the field of battle.
They break down into smaller groups of rank and file formations but still they are massed troops.
everyone thinks every Roman legion was lead by some great military mind and that is wrong, very few of these generals where military minded, because officers where appointed by politicians.
which was a check in the box for any elite that wanted a public office.

The Romans had Greek Fire. And I doubt they would group up after they figured out what was going on, they werent stupid.
