Hoplon ancient method of construction
#21
i think that an ''elbow''+the rim will do the trick. The shield is from neck to thighs and if you stand up with your fist closed and add the distance for the rim i think you have the radius. From pictures i ve seen the reconstructions vary from smaller ones to huge ones that look like baking tin :lol: im more for the middle solution. I believe if we study basic anatomy we will understand many things. The hand to elbow distance its bigger than the elbow-shoulder so adding the rim the shield will nest comfortably to the shoulder
