There is a good picture of a "real" roman greave on Legion VI's website in their real gear section.
It's in the bottom row of this page:

It's got some lines(grooves or folds) up and down the greave, and it's got three rivets on each side to hold onto rings.

Possible they used both methods to attach a lining then?

I think that yes, because there are armors without holes to sew lining.

We used glue as well. It's a nice way to hold the layers of fabric and leather cover while sewing!
Hide glue
I've used a combo of hide and beeswax and rosin. Works great.
