Some references on the transition from the iron-plated wooden umbo to the all-iron boss (but two are only on the pre-Roman-empire period, and one is on a specific archaeological culture in what is today Poland and Germany in the Roman Imperial period). I repeat that I am not a specialist!
Brunaux and Rapin's "Gournay II" (in French)
Bartosz Kontny's "The war as seen by an archaeologist. Reconstruction of barbarian weapons and fighting techniques in the Roman Period based on the analysis of graves containing weapons. The case of the Przeworsk Culture" (JRMES 16, PDF is googlable)
Gioal Canestrelli's "Celtic Warfare"

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
