Hi there

Here is a picture from Bill Thayers website, you can see the Thracian, who looks to have been cracked in the face with a shield has a pair of trousers on.

In this picture the Hoplomachus appears to have something ribbed or tied to his legs.

Just a quick reply as I am at work at the moment, but both trousers and ribbed padding can been seen on a lot of imagery, I will show some more later ... oh yes, and the use of some sort of leg manica (manica feminalia?) are present as well ...

All the best

Kind regards

Graham
