Start with anything by Peter Connolly, then get the ones by Peterson, Sumner, and maybe a couple of the Osprey books. For general army history and info get Goldsworthy, Peddie, Hyland, and Keppie.<br>

Mike Bishop has promised us a new edition of his (and Jon Coulston's!) "Roman Military Equipment" (WE'RE WAAIITINNNNG!!), which is truly indispensible, but the first edition is out of print. There are some other threads on this board about used copies of Robinson's "Armour of Imperial Rome" for less than a zillion bucks, also a good thing to have.<br>
<br>
That should get you started! Vale,<br>
