Bit off-topic of this thread, but I don't want to start new topic for quick armour question.
Anyone know why Roman legionaries seem not to use greaves that much apart from centurions? Polybius and Vegetius apparently mention them, though (according to Wiki..so..). I'd think that protection even for front leg would be valuable.
