Framed Armor Art

In ancient times, chain mails were the most popular armors, with the interlocking iron rings protecting the one wearing them from direct hits. They were popular all over Europe and the Romans adopted them while making slight modifications, to make them lighter without cutting down on durability. Many Framed Armor Art dedicated to those times feature soldiers wearing chain mail, although in other parts of the world, different types of personal armor were relied upon.

History buffs who check out Chinese and Japanese Framed Armor Art will notice that those warriors used laminated armor. Eventually cuirasses and plates were invented and in addition to protecting the body, they also granted a distinctive look to the warrior. Depending on their rank and position, samurais wore different armors, with some of them being inspired by the Chinese versions.
