Roman Greave

3D Model

This is one of a pair of Roman greaves I have created for a mod for the Medieval Engineers software. These shin protectors were not worn by all Roman soldiers, but seem to have been popular among officers, as well as worn by certain units depending on the landscape and fighting style they were used to. These represent steel construction with orichalcum (gold-toned brass) detailing, and a suede insert on the inside for comfort. The loops would have been used with leather strapping or cords to tie the greave to the leg.
