The book you want (at least as an invaluable starting point) is Peter Brunt's Italian Manpower 225 BC-AD 14 (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1971). Brunt's work includes detailed surveys of what Roman (and Italian) forces were doing, and where, throughout the period.
The book itself is quite expensive (200 GBP upwards, I should probably sell my copy!), but there seems to be a full text copy online at questia.com (a subscription site but you can, I think, get a free trial): http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=115983318
