Best opponents for "ancient" skirmishes?

I'd say common sense would be important. A handful of peltasts and a light horseman would make sense in many skirmish scenarios; a dozen hoplites wouldn't.

There is always the gangs of Rome approach- Watch series two of Rome (Watch series one to as its brilliant) for inspiration.

As Rob_bresnen says gangs would be a good way to skirmish, and should give a fairly wide scope from uniformed well armed soldiers on patrol to gladiators and poorly armed slaves. Check out the gangs of Rome threads for further inspiration.

Thank you everyone so far for all your help, looking around the net I found a dacian warhost box set, although out of production officially i found a few places that still sell them, question is, what's in them?

Also I read that the dacian supplement for Hail caesar has skirmish rules, anyone tried them?
