Show here your Sarmatian warrior impression

Hi Alan,
Quote:Perhaps splint greaves were reintroduced by the Avars, then again by the Poles, but they were and are so ubiquitous that they hung around for interim centuries, catching Vegetius' attention, and maybe at least one bold Sarmatian or Alan who wanted to protect his shins instead of gonads. Everybody has a quirk.:wink:
We might get confused here. The chap in your pictures is John Conyard (of course), who also posted in this link, but I'm not sure whether we are getting our signals crossed.

Indeed, most LR re-enactors use greaves from Künzing, but I am not aware of any splinted greaves from Künzing.

Vegetius indeed mentions greaves, but he does not mention splinted greaves.

Therefore, I am not aware of splint greaves between Scythians and early medieval times.
