Evolution of Armor Throughout The Ages

[BobM]

Title may be a bit deceptive in some way because it doesn't cover newer armor. But, is an interesting newer off the wall article about evolution of armor throughout earlier ancient history to approximately Medieval Ages.

Has some Arabic, Oriental and European armor types and styles. Is a longer interactive article showing different variations in very good illustrations, photographs in color of actual armor and reconstructions used during different periods of time from various countries. Has revolving pic's with captions and descriptions underneath.
