    The picture comes from Osprey, so you should simply check the description. Someone copied it there:

    8. ETRUSCANS IN THE ROMAN ARMY, 2nd–1st CENTURIES BC
    1) Lictor
    Painted urns from Volterra show cornicines and lictores attending victors or magistrates; this lictor is copied from the Tomba del Convegno (Monterozzi necropolis, Tarquinia). He is wearing the toga gabina and carries an iron double-axe (bipennis).
    (2) Eques
    An unusual urn from Volterra, representing the myth of Eteocles and Polynices, shows the brothers dressed like Roman cavalrymen of the period, with Boeotian helmets fitted with the geminae pinnae of Mars, shields of popanum typology, leather armour (spolas), greaves, and short swords.
    (3) Centurio
    This Roman centurion, copied from an urn in Florence Museum, wears a pseudo-Corinthian helmet fitted with a crista transversa. His composite armour is made of leather (shoulder-guards), padded material (main corselet), and on the chest bronze scales (squamae). Note his calcei boots, and the richly varied colours of his panoply.
    (4) Guardsman
    Reconstructed from the Sarteana urn, this Roman miles wears a late Montefortino helmet found in Forum Novum. His body armour combines a bronze kardiophylax breastplate and a linothorax corselet. We have added a single left greave and the curved oblong legionary scutum of his time; his weapons are the hasta and the deadly gladius hispaniensis.
    (5) Magistrate
    The absorption of Etruria into Rome saw leading Etruscan families climbing the government hierarchy. This official, copied from the famous statue of Aule Metele, wears the toga exigua over a tunica; the latter’s purple angusticlavi, and the gold ring on his left hand, identify him as a member of the equestrian order. Hidden here, he would also be wearing high calcei boots with lingula, and fastened by corrigiae.

    a short introduction to the encyclopedia Británica or Wiki even Total War forum have some  good introductions.

    Still don't know who should i start with, divided between the etruscans and the syracusans, cuz im also thinking of the any new assets that could be needed for the etruscans. Also syraracuse is easier and any concept for them won't include any new assets for the most part but i hesitate to create a concept of another mercenary civ since mercs are meh and we don't know if they will become good by A25.

    True but this is an idea i had for a while , i think civs have too many troop types available and this makes differentiation beyond cosmetics difficult .

    Surely you have to judge a civ based on more factors than that. We can introduce some unique concepts for example swimming champions for Illyrians, reconnaissance eagles for Mongolians and war tigers.
