Explanation:
من الأفضل استخدامها باسمها الروماني الأصلي كما يحدث فى معظم اللغات خصوصاً وأن لها أشكالا عديدة
Manicae:
1. long sleeve of a tunic, reaching to the hand
2. armlet, gauntlet in battle. This is the meaning Johnston uses in reference to the protective manicae on the right arms of Samnite gladiators.
3. handcuff, manacle
4. a grappling-iron, with which an enemy's ship was held fast
