Sorry it took me a while, hope this is helpful. The bibliography from my old Marian Reforms paper follows. Especially useful were Gabba, Kildahl, Smith. If you want my full paper (with page numbers for references) let me know, I'll find a place to put up the pdf or you can PM me with an email address. Cheers.
