No shoulder doublings! These disappear in the early second century. Have a look at the armour types on the Column of MA.
The Italic G is of a Hadrianic date. I would suggest a Neiderbeiber or Italic H type. That said, the cross-braced helmet from Theilenhofen has a deposition date of about 180 AD IIRC. (The one I am wearing on my avatar)
A ring-pommel sword is equally accurate for this period.
Oval shield
The dagger depicted in the painting is 3rd Century. I would not use this type for MA period. I would make one of these as a sidearm..
