The earliest mail armour was made in Slovakia during the 3rd century BC. The Gauls seem to have been particularly skilled at making mail shirts and from them its use was quickly adopted by Roman Republican troops. It continued in use in parts of the world into the 18th and 19th centuries.
Mail is most effective in protecting against cutting strokes but much less useful against penetration by narrow points such as bodkin arrowheads; it will not absorb the force of a blunt force blow, so some form of padding is essential beneath it.

Which is stronger chainmail or plate armor?
In terms of protective quality in terms of blunt force and weight, the mail is still widely used, and it is apparent that there are numerous reasons for this. It is adaptable, allowing it to cover areas where a plate would be difficult to protect. The mail is often heavier than an armor plate in terms of material. Because mail and plate armor come in a variety of thicknesses, there's some leeway here. Plate mail armor is frequently backed with chain mail, with the metal plates welded to the chainmail backing.
