General late period Roman troop impressions:

& the Holderness germanic migration period guide:

For a germanic impression, I would think a spangenhelm like the Hofburg, Vienna example would look good, or this type:

which I believe was modelled on one from Southern France in the 5thC, possibly Visigothic?

Personally I'd avoid scale armour. I think some 5thC sword examples had straight lower guards & either similar upper guards or small pommels would look right, perhaps with an hexagonal grip.

I'd be interested in your thinking on this - keep us posted.
