Hello William,
A nice project! So far no realproblems, as you say your soft kit and shoes are from a good vendor.
If you are going for a civilian imprssion, I'm afraid that a crossbow brooch as well as a cingulum are out of the question - these are limited to soldiers and civil servants, civilians did not wear them.
Also, the crossbow brooches are not Italian, but Gallic and Germanic, with the non-military ones found from the Rhine to the Danube but not the Mediterranean. For Italy you'd want disc fibulae or animalistic ones.
Btw, Replik do not sell early 4th buckles, Holger Ratsdorf does: http://www.hr-replikate.de/katalog/indep...image=0355
