Thickness of a bronze bell cuirass

[ouragos]

From the rather extensive paper by Jarva (1995) which explores all known archaic greek body armour known at that time it highlights that most archaic armour thickness was around 1mm (although there are numerable variations). According to Courbin (1957) and discsussed in Jarva's paper, the Argos cuirass is around 2mm, but many others are less than half of that.

The 'Argos' bell is 3.36kg (again, from Courbin '57)
