No, at least not into battle. The toga was the hallmark of a Roman citizen, so some soldiers might have been able to wear it when they weren't in uniform (and only if they were upper-class). Togas would have been extremely impractical to wear into battle.

No. The Romans did not cover their heads or wear hats, in normal circumstances. However they aways covered their heads with their toga's flap when offering a sacrifice and they did wear hats which were broad brimmed. These hats were usually worn by country people working in the fields but Augustus himself always wore a hat when he took his daily walks outdoors. The Pontifex Maximus also covered his head and all the flamens wore their distinctive caps.
