17 Νοε 2020 · Greek armor and weapons from Mycenaean civilization survive today in archaeological remains from tombs, artistic depictions, and linguistic evidence.
The military nature of Mycenaean Greece (c. 1600–1100 BC) in the Late Bronze Age is evident by the numerous weapons unearthed, warrior and combat representations in contemporary art, as well as by the preserved Greek Linear B records.
Body Armor: Mycenaean warriors wore bronze armor, including breastplates, greaves, and helmets. The armor was often designed to provide significant protection while allowing mobility. Helmets: Helmets were made from materials such as bronze, leather, and boar tusks.
Prior to the 12th century BCE collapse of the Mycenaean citadels (city-fortresses), Mycenaean armies controlled Crete and the western coast and littoral regions of the Aegean Sea.
The armor should have been constructed around the middle of the 15th century BC (Late Helladic II period) and it is being consisted exclusively by bronze plates, in total 18 pieces of different sizes and shapes (full plate armor).
