Scott,
According to Bishop (2002) if I recall it correctly, fittings from the Newstead segmentata start turning up in contexts dating to the 130s. On this basis I would aim for an impression of the second quarter of the second century AD, combined with a Hebron or Theilenhofen helmet and belt wth openwork plates, no apron and no pugio. You could also consider a ring pommel sword or something heavier like one of the Canterbury murder grave blades.
