Defender

''"The primary defensive unit for the Roman Legion." -In-game description '' Defender is a unit within the Roman Ranks.

They don't do much in Offensive terms, but in Defensive terms, they are a must-have.

Strategy
If Legionaries were the Sword, and Archers the Bow and Arrow, then the Defenders are the Shields. Use them to protect your troops. The defender, besides defending archers and legionaries, can also defend healers. This allows the Healer to stay back and heal the Defender, allowing for a longer life-time on the battlefield.
