Lamellar armour was one of three early body armour types, made from rectangular or vaguely rectangular armour plates laced into horizontal rows. The other two types are scale armour and laminar armour. Lamellar armour was used over a wide range of time periods in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and across Asia, including Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word armour:
“Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
