With roots in the distant past, scale armor boasts a rich history that stretches back to the early days of antiquity. From the Egyptians and Assyrians to the Hittites, it served as a trusted form of defense for countless civilizations. Its use continued through the early Middle Ages, adopted by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and the heavy fighters of the era. Even the Pharaohs of Egypt were sometimes depicted wearing scale armor, often crafted from bronze. This style of armor remained popular with Carolingian cavalry, the mounted warriors of Charlemagne's army, for whom it provided excellent protection. Scale armor continued to be used well into the High Middle Ages, with occasional sightings as late as the 14th century. Its occurrences were also seen in Poland, the Ottoman Empire, and among the Turks, becoming a hallmark of many diverse cultures.
