Description –
II Century Roman Greaves are believed to have been used during the II and the III centuries AD. They are short greaves and do not have a knee plate. They were probably worn by foot soldiers of the Roman army/cavalry. The design and shape of the greeves were kept simple and functional; they provide better mobility but lesser protection against impact. Some artefacts of these greaves also show the use of chain links for fastening, but this model comes with flat leather thongs.
