Thanks for the comprehensive replies, Crispvs and Tim. The point about troops stationed in different parts of the world is a good one: it's very likely that a legionary based in Syria and one in Britain would appear very different.
I would still maintain, in discursive mode, that our two men could feasibly be equipped more or less identically (barring, perhaps, swords and maybe pila) - but while this may be the case in theory it almost certainly was not in practice!
