Nice reconstruction, Dan !! One problem is the shield's blazon - Athena's gorgon and aegis -clearly Greek, and hardly likely to be used by those whose arch-enemies were the Greeks !!
The enlargement shows the detail that the sculptor produced - mail would not have been difficult - look at the pteryges for example.
But see above, the sculpture is likely late -100 to 40 B.C and hence roman and is considered to be very close to Roman contemporary sculpture.
Glad to see you are now motivated -if you go the "whole hog" we all want to see the photos of you with your plaited "mohawk" cut posted here on RAT !!!
