Roman Slaves Unit

I know this is super late to the party but historically the Romans did recruit volunteer slaves during the Second Punic War, but they equipped them just like free men and the Senators payed for their armor and weapons. They were led by a Consul Gracchus and won against the Carthaginians because they were told they would be granted freedom if they were fighting courageously.

I think it would be interesting if they performed just like other Roman frontline infantry except really low morale and lower upkeep. The morale could be fixed if the general/veteran/patrician for the army has maybe a retainer or perk that buffs slave soldier morale by a large amount.

Maybe you could increase their number and give them mixed weapons. Some carrying axes, swords etc.
