I highly recommend the two volumes (there's a third one about the late roman army in preparation I think) of Giuseppe Cascarino's "L'esercito romano". I discovered it by chance in an italian book shop in a sumer trip. Unfortunately this excellent work has not been translated from italian as far as I know. Anyway is richly illustrated an in my modest opinion, and I have read almost all the books you talk about here, is among the best general views on the Roman Army.
