Quote:I noticed no-one really brought up the subarmalis. Would this not affect how the plates sit...and without an accurate one historically, it'd be hard to show how an historical seg sat on a person right?
It was mentioned a couple of times actually in support of the vertical plate idea, and the real thing's exact nature really isn't a vital piece of information if the issue is as I suggest that the original artifacts simply cannot be anything but crossed and still close/ be wearable by anyone.
