Roman Greaves
|
Roman Greaves were designed to protect the lower leg from the cut of a sword or the vicious kicking that occurred during battle. The overall length of the Roman greaves is 18 3/4". Constructed of steel.
Although worn by many Roman Units, greaves were not worn by all. Our replica steel greaves are based on patterns depicted on Trojan's Columns as well as other sources of that period.
The term greave comes from the 12th century French greve, meaning 'shin'. It is a piece of armor that protects the leg. Greaves may be constructed of materials ranging from padded cloth to steel plate. Some designs protect only the lower leg or extend upwards to protect the thigh.
