David, all of the measurements of Roman male skeletons I've seen point to the average height being 5'7". That's still a 5% difference which has an effect on everything we use, and I thoroughly agree about upscaling for modern men and women. Helmets are my biggest bugbear, and the Windisch helm is a pretty big one that had heaps of padding and an arming cap to make it fit.
