As far as I'm aware, they still wore the tunics above the knees in the later period as well.
I'd be interested to see any images of this.
I'd have to check my various images, but I can't because my flashdrive has gone missing. Lost 10 Gigs of Roman Images and files (including my Handbook) on there. I remember seeing both on Late Roman Monuments, murals, etc. But I can't name any off the top of my head.
Furthermore, I support the use of greaves prior to the 3rd century, I would just say they were not a common sight.
After all, shins are god's way of helping us find things in the dark
