Custom work, amice, custom work! None of the "off the shelf" stuff will be accurate enough or fit well enough to do the impression justice (and way too much of it is downright bad!). I'd suggest Manning Imperial in Australia, or Joe Piela of Lonely Mountain Forge in the US. Both are listed on the Legio XX Suppliers Page,

You'll want to do as much research as possible, and be very careful about avoiding Hollywoodisms (such as brass arm pieces, etc.). There's a Legio XX page about officers which may be a little help,

but you'll definitely want to check out Travis Clark's site on the muscled cuirass,

Good luck! Vale,
