TIBIA'LE (περικνημίς). A leggin or long gaiter, which went round the shin (tibia) from the knee to the ankle; not commonly worn by the Romans, but occasionally adopted under the Empire by persons of delicate constitution like Augustus (Suet. Aug. 82.); or by those whose employments rendered such protection advantageous, such as soldiers (Paul. Dig. 49. 16. 14.); or by huntsmen, for which usage the illustration (Tibiale/1.1) affords an authority, being worn by a horseman in a Roman bas-relief, at a hunt of wild beasts.
