Description:- Mail or ring mail made from interlocking iron rings, which can be riveted, or welded shut is believed to possess been invented in Eastern Europe about 500 BC. Gradually, small additional plates or discs of iron were added to the mail to guard vulnerable areas. Hardened leather and splinted construction were used for arm and leg pieces. A coat of plates was developed, an armour made from large plates sewn inside a textile or leather coat. When one thinks of armour during a general or historic sense one normally conjures images of the design of armour (or armor) worn by History’s Arthur and his knights of the round table, Galahad, Lancelot and therefore the remainder of the soldiers of Merlin. The bulky metal full body suits that were more likely to disable an enemy by blinding them with the daylight reflecting off the shiny exterior than they were through the accuracy of where the knight pointed his jousting stick. Spare an idea for the poor horses that were crazy carrying these heroes burdened with weight of the ring mail, broad sword and shield. Think a touch harder and one would recall other variants of a soldier’s armour that are used round the globe from the traditional times of the Greeks and therefore the Spartan Warriors of 300 infamy with their bodices of mounded leather and bronze helmets with plumes of hair tail enough to rival the Mohawks of the 1970’s punk rockers. From the epic battles of the Spartan warriors against the armies of Persia, one would naturally follow the evolution of armour to subsequent logical (lion’s) pit stop to recall the good Roman gladiators just like the legend that's Spartacus or Russel Crowe’s eternal hero, Maximus, battling during a crowded Coliseum for the game of Caesar. By this stage in our history, technology had advanced far enough that we were ready to shape the steels and metals (like nickel, bronze, copper even silver and gold) into forms designed to both protect the wearer and to intimidate the enemy. Angels and Demons are strongly represented within the silhouettes of armour throughout the ages.
