Body armor, or simply armor, is protective clothing worn to shield the body from attacks. Armor could be worn by warriors and used to protect their mounts. Armor serves this function by deflecting or absorbing the impact of weapons or projectiles.
The history of armor dates back to ancient civilizations. Evidence of armor can be found as early as 2050 BC during the Bronze Age.
Around 1500 BC, ancient civilizations began wearing armor made of bronze and leather. Chainmail armor appeared around 400 BC. Later on, plate armor came into use. With the development of firearms, traditional armor gradually declined and disappeared.
