    I found it: the name not the pictures. They are called Pteruges. From what I can figure from several different sorces, they were thick leather strips that hung in a skirt-like way from the bottem of the chest plate to mid thigh. The painting I saw was probably combining all kinds of things that may not have ever been used together.
    This is the problem I'm having. My tastes in men's skirt-like clothing is strongly influenced by styolized drawings and paintings I saw as a kid. Not that I haven't seen actual photos of kilts, but I have all these other pictures in my mind. On top of that, I keep hearing that Zack Wilds wears "one of them Roman kilts," Roman kilts?

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
