Ah yes, here's a good picture of the sort of man who won the Mediterranean lands for Rome, then helped decide who was going to rule it. I take it you were going for a post-Marius man, with standardized and optimized equipment made possible by an influx of wealth from conquered territories. His physique looks very correct, being a short (by modern standards) man whose stocky, muscular build reflects the hard labor of the farm tempered by the famous Roman military training.
