Hi Iagoba,

Welcome to the ranks of the Late Romans!

If I may advise you, first get clothing, a belt and shoes (no caligae!), then a spear. A spearpoint is not costly and much more of a primary weapon than a sword or even a shield.

The pannonian cap is easy to make, as is the sagum. A sword you can buy later..
