Greetings folks.
Have searched thru the archives, and pretty much found my answer. But just wanted to make sure.
Greaves pretty much never went out of style, except maybe 1st cent AD, and that is still debated.
But looking at getting into Equestrian, and so doing a late roman cav personna, and want to make sure greaves were still used. At some point, I could of sworn, i had seen greaves with a seperate piece that covered the knee, instead of all one piece, but not sure how late that style went. I thought I had seen 3rd century. But my research is limited to here and a few books I own.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time ans help.
