[split] Phalanx warfare: use of the spear

[Dan Howard]

The main problem is that even when there are published thicknesses, the measurements were usually only taken around the edges. It is likely that this is the thinnest part of the cuirass. Plate cuirasses are often thickest across the chest and thinner at the back and edges. We need reports where the cuirass measurements were taken at the middle of the plate with deep throat micrometers.
