Ave!
I have found the following research references extremely valuable in reconstructing Late Roman Army kit, especially light and heavy infantry. Some of these sources offer directly applicable information, but they all are useful in understanding the broader, historical context and setting of Late Roman antiquity.
1. Roman Military Equipment (2), AD 200-400, Osprey Publishing
2. Roman Military Equipment (3), AD 400-600, Osprey Publishing
3. Late Roman Infantryman, AD 236-565, Osprey Military
4. The Last Legionary: Life as a Roman Soldier, AD 400, by Paul Elliott
5. Rome and the Barbarians, 100 BC- AD 400, by Thomas S. Burns
6. The Fall of the Roman Empire, by Michael Grant
7. The Climax of Rome, by Michael Grant
8. The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization, by Bryan Ward-Perkins
--Marcellus Valerius Gothicus
