A type of protective leg armor or boot worn by soldiers in historical periods, particularly in medieval or ancient times.
From Latin 'campagus,' related to footwear for soldiers; possibly connected to 'campus' (field) as equipment for field soldiers.
Medieval soldiers wore multiple layers of armor in strategic places, and 'campagi' as foot protection shows how military equipment had Latin names that have largely been forgotten except in historical texts about armor.
