These are nice early in the roman campaign to take out the other side's base. The base archers dont start shooting until your unit actually attacks the base, so legionnaries will survive longer than archers and do more damge to the base. They are also useful as meat shields to  protect the archers if you havent upgraded them. However, at later levels, upgraded archers have longer range which means they do not need to be protected by meatshields, and calvary do a better job of taking out the enemy base. Conclusion: Useful in the early levels, but it is best not to waste upgrade points on them because they get useless pretty quickly.
