There has been a desire to protect since modern civilization began. The earliest examples of armor come from the Greek Mycenaean Era, whose armorers created bronze metal plate armors in the early 1400’s BC. Similar designs spread across ancient Greece leading to Corinthian style bronze helmets and “Aspis” style hand shields that became synonymous with the legendary warriors of the Spartan military. Armor continued to evolve and was a key reason the Romans were able to dominant our European ancestors. The Romans designed segmented, lightweight armor that was a combination of leather and bronze that allowed greater flexibility and range of movement, to allow their warriors to become more agile and effective in combat. In the medieval ages, lightweight, agile warfighters continued to domainte the battlefield, with the infamous Welsh bowmen of Crecy and Agincourt of the 100 Years War heavily defeating their heavier, less mobile French opposition.
