The romans as a whole didn't really have any soldier class, other than when it came to officers such as tribunes and generals, who where pratrician. To my knowledge early roman armies had no such organization as a phalanx legion. Show me a source for this information perhaps?
Thank the Gods for Marius then, or else we'd have all ended up with Phalanx legions...
