Looks like it. They even have an excuse, if they bother with an explanation why these soldiers look different from the ones we've seen before. They were raising a lot of legions fast during the civil wars so maybe they went with armor that was quicker to produce than the hamata. But I suspect they're just doing it so we'll be able to tell Octavian's soldiers from Antony's in the fight scenes.
