OK, so I talked to a couple of other RAT members who live in my area. There's no active group here so we're going to start our own. Legio XIIII (or would it be XIV?) circa 60 AD. Right now, due to all I've read in print or online, I have a good general idea of what I want my impression to look like. But the devil is in the details, and I don't know where to look to learn about them. I've come to understand that if you don't get the details right, it won't be authentic, thus killing all your effort.
So what I'm asking for is recommendations of authors, classical, recent and modern, whose works would help me 'get it right'. I've also learned that a lot is conjecture, but what was actually written about legionaries would be a very helpful guideline.
