Best Answer

Roman legionaries about the time of the Late Republic and certainly by the time of the First Emperor Augusts had become a professional fighting force not just the traditional "peasant/farmer/fighter" of the original Rome. The main colour of the uniform was red. They might carry about 20-30kg per pay. They had a long rectangle shield made from wood that would cover the large part of their body excluding their lower leg and head. They did not have a single chest plate more over lapping rectangles of armor, not chain. They had a helmet that left their front face open. Most of the Armor would be iron possible steal. They carried the "gladius" which was a short stabbing sword. They would Carry a "pilum" this was like a javelin but with a very sharp iron tip deigned to break off when it the enemy so it could not be thrown back. You had auxiliaries these were non citizens but stil from Roman provinces they might have chain armor, a round shied, and a spear some were archers. They were piad less but were still disciplined and used for support to the legionaries.
