Right cheek guards predominate findings - why?
#2
I think your last part of the statement may have hit it on the head.

A predominance of right handed swingers as well as perhaps the position the legionary would be in, formation. If the scutum was to rest on the left shin, with the legionary crouched down, looking for an opportunity to thrust at his opponent, I think it would tend to more naturally expose the left side of the face.

Thoughts?
