Key sentence that needs more work from Tony McArthur's article on Roman Army "professionalism" before Augustus: "There is nothing to support the assertion that earlier Roman soldiers [pre-Augustus] were 'long-service' professionals, even is some repeatedly re-enlisted." (p. 25)

Trying to study campaign length is an interesting idea but it would be tricky - you'd be very beholden to Livy for knowing when existing formations were merely augmented or when they were replaced each year with the consuls.

Most other sources aren't as careful in noting new dilecti, formations, etc. Which means you'd have data from 219-179, then be partially blinded to 166, then almost entirely blind for the rest, forced to make assumptions in how to figure, for instance, Rome's long wars in Spain.
