Vergina Cuirass - Measurements

[MeinPanzer]

His comments about how it wears is that it can be comfortably worn for many hours ndespite its weight (can't remember how much),and that in his opinion it wasn't meant to be a cavalry cuirass. It makes sence since it was found with greaves and a hoplite shield.

Why doesn't he think it wasn't meant to be worn by a cavalryman? Also, the shield and greaves don't tell us anything about how the cuirass was intended or could have been worn, because it's well known that Macedonian kings took full complements of arms with them on campaign which included arms and armour suitable for fighting both on horseback and on foot.

I'm curious to know if the original is truly double-breasted of if the underlayer does not go all the way across the chest. From the limited images I have seen it does not look like the whole underlayer survived and I wonder it is just being assumed that it went all the way across.

From Manolis Andronicos, Vergina. The Royal Tombs and the Ancient City, Ekdotike Athenon S.A., Athens, 1992:

The body of the cuirass is made up of four sheets, one covering the chest, one on either side and one over the back; a fifth section which however consisted of only a metal border and which must have been covered with cloth and leather was found on the underside of the part which covered the chest.

It's hard to tell what he means by "only a metal border," since the clearest image of the reconstructed cuirass seems to show that this plate on the underside is solid from the upper edge at least down to the level where the armhole ends. I do think it spans the entire width of the chest, though.
