The twined piece from Dura is not a leg guard. It is a liner for a metal leg guard. It is obvious when you see the wear pattern. I'm petty sure that James' original report says that it is a greave liner. The Masada twined fragment could be from ptyruges but it is only speculation. It could just as likely be from a floor rug.
