Interested in Roman Riding?

[Sagittarii]

These are cavalry sports greaves on loan from Leg II Aug.

My own personal date line is the early 4th century, so mid 3rd century greaves are just about OK. But I would prefer some good splint greaves for 2010. These are just too delicate for what they have to put up with.

Thanks for that.

So splint greaves are ok to use??? Are we talking leather backing with the metal splints rivetted on front like those shown in the Osprey Late Roman Cavalry?

Damn, I really need to get some more books and do some more research. Nothing like diving into a new period head first
