But it´s the plural form of femen, so it could be something like feminal because there could be a contraction. I will search, but the ancient sources i found use only feminalia and i just know it as that:
Suet. Aug. 82,1:
"Hieme quaternis cum pingui toga tunicis et subucula et thorace laneo et feminalibus et tibialibus muniebatur..."
And what´s the earliest example or evidence for a feminalia of roman legionarii (not auxiliar)? I can imagine, the normal gregarii used it very soon after auxiliars but i need the most early evidence for a feminalia of one legionarius - sorry, but i really want to be sure for my caesarian soldier :roll: :lol:

EDIT:
Now i researched and asked one friend, it should be only "feminalia" because the e in femen is short and is contracted to femin in Substantiv. Its not so seldom in Latin. I dont know femenalia as a word. It should not exist, but if it does, maybe you can help me and give some examples. Would be very interested. But archaeological literature and sources i know give allways feminalia.
Kindest regards,
Lucius Rabirius
