The nice thing about historical games is once you have a force you can find a rule set to suit.
The downside is sometimes because you only have to buy a rule book they can be more expensive.
I have plenty of rules and depending on the size of games and complexity I sometimes will swap between them.
I will say give SPQR a wide berth it’s about to get a revised edition but I don’t think that will solve it’s issue. Clash of Spears will be in retail from the end of March if you favour ancients go for that. Failing that I would mirror what Khusra said.
If it still seems as clear as mud ask away and someone will answer
