This is what you are looking for:

You could try this: I don't fancy the price though (!)

The Last Legionary
This book details the lives of Late Roman legionaries garrisoned in Britain in 400AD. It covers everything from battle to rations, camp duties to clothing.

Chuck do you have a copy of that book " Spoils of Victory" ?

As far as I can remember there were no weapons found with the clothing thats commonly copied from Thorsberg. I believe it was only a tunic, boots, and a cloak, and possibly a hat.
