Femoralia

 ( Roman-era Clothing ) 

Femoralia or feminalia and tibialia were a kind of leg covering used in ancient Rome, the femoralia covering the upper leg ( cf. femur) and the tibialia covering the lower leg ( cf. tibia).

Femoralia are sometimes described as short trousers or breeches, and tibialia as leggings.Raffaele D'Amato, Roman Military Clothing: AD 400-640 , 3:19.
