Sounds pretty OP, but I see another set of factions coming along. 

Maybe make some of these mercenary. Try to distinguish proto-trebuchets from lithobolos and Greek fire from pyrobolos. :)

I've seen elaborately designed greaves in other references as well, so I believe these.

Me too, but altogether it's weird.

What I have seen with that clothing is different.

Knowing the Roman mentality, only the high ranking patricians wear Hellenistic armor.

The most common is to see germinized or orientalized full armor.

What I have read is that the military change in the third and fourth centuries was very abrupt.

 

Constant civil wars, barbarian invasions, economic disruption, plagues, recruitment problems, and the complete annihilation of multiple armies within a short time span will do that.

typical world collapse. 

Depends. The barbarians that usurped the Western Empire thought of themselves as "Romans" too, carrying on its traditions. The collapse was rather slow though. From the death of Commodus (the end of the "High Empire") to the overthrow of Romulus Augustulus took 280 years.
