You can find it in the main menu campaigns as the "Late Roman Republic: First Civil War".

– 20 new historical units:
* Early and Late Camillan hastati, principes, triarii and Camillan socii hastati and socii extraordinarii, available in RotR campaign through The reforms of Camillus and Weapons training technologies.
* Early and Late Polybian hastati, principes, triarii, socii hastati and socii extraordinarii legionaries, available for the GC and HatG campaigns with the Mercenary Auxiliaries technology.
Including all short of details like +300 shields designs or the skins classified so the hastati look the youngest, principes adults and triarii the oldest, though there is a bit of mix to keep cohesion and a high variety of looks.
* Iphikratean hoplites and Iphikratean peltasts, available for Athens in the GC through the Military settlement and in WoS through the Peltast training technology.
– 68 new skins, including 3 new body shapes variations, for Greeks and Romans.
