Also, get a copy of Bishop & Coulston’s “Roman Military Equipment”; Graham Sumner’s “Roman Military Dress”, for starters.
If you’re into Lorica Segmentata, Bishop’s “Lorica Segmentata” I and II monographs are necessary.
Avoid works by Dando-Collins, unless you want to spend hours of attempting to cross-reference his “sources”. Fun historical fiction, that’s about it. (IMHO)
Also, avoid Museum Replicas. Their Roman (and Greek) offerings are utter trash.

Also also, get an account with Academia.edu, you’ll have access to hundreds of Academic journals and some Archaeological surveys and monographs. Scribd is another good source, as is of course JSTOR.

Unfortunately, Armamentaria UK closed their online store very recently. They were one of the best sources around, as they looked to offer the right kind of gear. Kult of Athena is one of many vendors for Deepeeka gear, it just takes some effort to sift through their offerings and avoid the cheapo/bad gear. Although the “good” thing with Roman replica gear that isn’t as good as others is that you can modify, alter, replace some of the bad/wrong parts, since of course all of this stuff was made by hand by the Romans, so, it’s not going to be machined-perfect.

Good luck.
