I am rather new to the site, and new to reenacting so I don't yet know nearly enough to contribute to this dicussion but on your last post about how it could be interesting to compare roman military equipment to other military equipment I might be able to help with. I am modern day Canadian Army and can easily give information on what a modern soldier will bring into the field with them. Of course this often does very by the soldiers working environment. A soldier whos combat arms such as infintry, artillery, or armoured would take lighter and more basic but essential equipment meanwhile an officer or a soldier who spends most if not their entire time in camp would bring more for comfort and luxuary.
