The book which answers all of these questions and more is the extremely well-researched "A Greek Army on the March" by John W.I. Lee; chapters five and eight are devoted to the soldiers' diets and kit, while other chapters discuss other interesting topics such as attendants, lodging, and hygiene. I highly recommend it.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
