Hi Athena
We in the Sydney Ancients find a bandage wrapped around each ankle works a treat. This has a long history in Australia, as the first re-enactment group (of the modern era) in Australia, the Ancient and Medieval Martial Arts Society, was doing Greek and Roman re-enactment in the early 70's (I joined in 79).
While a linen wrap would be more authentic, a crepe bandage certainly helps with preventing the greave slipping.
