i found this picture of an early 5th century greek bell cuirass. The bottom doesn't flare out too much. Theres also i an illustration in peter connolly's "Greece and rome at War" of a bell cuirass and the bottom doesn't flare too much either. And theres a picture of one with a wide bottom. I can see why the armae cuirass needs to have the bottom edge adjusted though, it seems it curls back up slightly. Would you say the central hoplite in the last picture is close to being accurate? his chiton seems a bit off though.
