You main character looks very mid-first century, which is way later then the end of the Republican period (Ceasar). For a gripping story, the time of the conquest of Britain could be nice. Fiece opponents, landing parties, opposed river crossing, much stealth, shifty allies and turncoats. You may want to try Scarrow's books for inspiration.
However, along the frontiers (which is where the action was) stone walled forts did not show up for much, much later. Most barraks also would have a porticus, from what we know. I wonder what that structure is in your picture. Does not look like a typical barraks to me. My advice would be to invest in some books. http://www.ospreypublishing.com/section....ctionID=28 The Osprey ones are usually very well illustrated. Oh well, have fun.
