Corbridge A Breastplates - to cross or not cross diagonally?
#59
I would suggest that they sit square because the breastplates are way too wide compared to the Corbridge finds, even taking account of the size of the individual.

If you are proportianately increasing the breastplate then all the USG and LSG plates should be much wider as well IMHO. None of the surviving breastplates are even remotely close to being that wide.

The points Matt is trying to make are based upon the actual available evidence.
