But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

By the time of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, there were already 28 legions, most of which were commanded by a senatorial legate. During the Imperial period, there was a core of 30 legions, according to military historian Adrian Goldsworthy.
The size of the standard legion was 4000 infantry and 200 cavalry. The size of the emergency legion was 5000 and 300. The historians admit of exceptions with legion size going as low as 3000 and as high as 6000, with cavalry ranging from 200-400.

Plus you would have to shell Rome itself to the ground in order to 'take' it...i mean its a city of a MILLION people at that time, with overhanging apartment blocks 5 stories high (no snipers here) and 'streets' that you would be hard pressed to get a modern scooter through. In short, the city itself (and most cities of the time) untakeable by 2k missile troops of any variety against a hostile civilian populace.
However again, why the hell WOULD the marines attack Rome, rather than becoming the Romans elite striking force and expanding the empire all the way to china? Even tho you couldn't make modern weapons, can you imagine Roman discipline combined with muskets?
