JP Vieiras' image is a good starting point.

For references you may try the term "thyreophoroi" for simples pletasts sand "Thorakitae" for armored peltasts even "imitation roman troops".

Sidearms range from daggers to hoplite swords and kopis.
Sulla Beotian allies against Taxilus were more probably thyreophoroi.

Kind regards
