They earliest amour were breastplates or cuirasses (one or two pieces of metal which covered the whole of the trunk) made of bronze. Chainmail vests were developed very early.

The Romans developed three types of armour. The lorica squamata was made of metal scales stitched onto a fabric backing. The scales were made of bronze or iron. The lorica hamata was a chainmail vest made of bronze or iron. The lorica segmentata had a series of broad metal strips placed horizontally across the trunk and fastened to a leather backing. The shoulders were protected by broader horizontal strips and there was a breastplate on the upper torso. The strips were made of soft iron in the inside and mild steel on the outside.
