Body Defenses
Important Note: This data may be misleading. I have listed mail as the body defense unless it is patently obvious from the profile that there is some sort of breastplate or coat of plates. This conservative approach was taken because I beleave that AT LEAST mail (possibly with a rigid defense over it) was being worn at this time. This has the unfortunate effect of making mail look like a primary defense for much longer than in reality it probably was.
Globose means a rounded body defense that is not covered by a jupon.
Rounded means a body defense that is covered by a jupon that has a rounded profile. These may represent a globose cuirasses or breastplates or rounded coats of plates.
COP means a coat of plates that may have a slightly rounded form.
Mail means a body defended entirely by mail. Because surcoats and jupons were universally worn is it impossible to recognize the rigid body defenses that were worn on top of the mail.
