The archaeological evidence, including weapons, armor, and Linear B tablets, highlights the importance of warfare in Mycenaean society and their influence on subsequent Greek military traditions.
Some representative types of Mycenaean armor/weapons were the boar's tusk helmet and the "Figure-of-eight" shield. Most features of the hoplite armor of Classical Greece were already present in Mycenaean times.
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.
Today the armor is being displayed at Nauplion Archaeological museum. 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).
