Why? 

I mean, I like SGII; but it's designed for a very different kind of
warfare than the Romans engaged in.
SGII has
-a much smaller # of troops
-"instantaneous command" due to radios etc.
-squads operating independantly rather than thousands of men in a
battleline
-effective long-range weapons
-single ranks for close combat
-really deadly close combat that's over very quickly
-no real cavalry

...and so forth.  Briefly, the major differences are scale, C2, and fire
vs. close combat.

I think you're better off using a set of rules designed for the period. 
I like DBA (De Bellis Antiquitatis), produced by WRG, but there are
plenty of other options (Armati, Archon, DBM, WRG 7th, etc.)
