I would be wary of searching on the internet for information unless you already know what you are looking for. Of course, here at RAT, you are probably already in the best place on the internet to get information of that sort.

I would agree with Crispus on this. Most of my research into clothing was via many hours in a good old fashioned library. Information on the internet frequently does not give reliable sources. It might provide some interesting clothing pictures but then you will have to track down the source to get details of sizes etc..

Well I might have said try Roman Military Clothing 1-3 in Osprey but if you prefer to wait a couple of weeks then perhaps my 'Roman Miltary Dress', published by The History Press might be of interest to you. Unlike the Osprey series there is also a section on the Republic.
