scale armour
Scale armour is an early form of armour consisting of many individual small armour scales (plates) of various shapes attached to each other and to a backing of cloth or leather in overlapping rows.〔(''Armed Batavians: Use and Significance of Weaponry and Horse Gear from Non-military Contexts in the Rhine Delta (50 Bc to Ad 450)'' ), Author Johan Nicolay, Publisher Amsterdam University Press, 2008, ISBN 90-5356-253-2, ISBN 978-90-5356-253-6〕 Scale armour was worn by warriors of many different cultures as well as their horses. The material used to make the scales varied and included bronze, iron, rawhide, leather, cuir bouilli, seeds, horn, pangolin scales and, in ancient China, paper. The variations are primarily the result of material availability.
==Types of scale armours==
Scale armour is armour in which the individual scales are sewn or laced to a backing by one or more edges and arranged in overlapping rows resembling the scales of a fish/reptile or roofing tiles.〔(''Publication: Anthropological series, Volume 13'' ), (Field Museum of Natural History : 1909), Author Field Museum of Natural History, Publisher The Museum, 1913, Original from Harvard University P.258〕 The scales are usually assembled and strapped by lacing or rivets. Lorica squamata is an ancient Roman armour of this type〔 and is the Japanese (samurai) name for this type of scale armour.〔(''On the laws of Japanese painting: an introduction to the study of the art of Japan'' ), Henry P. Bowie, P. Elder and Company, 1911, p 55〕
Other types of armours made from individual scales but constructed in a different manner have their own separate names such as lamellar armour where the individual scales are perforated on several or all edges and lashed tightly to each other in straight ridged rows and do not need to be attached to a backing. The Romans also had a variant called lorica plumata in which the scales were attached to mail.〔''Roman military equipment: from the Punic Wars to the fall of Rome'', M. C. Bishop, J. C. Coulston, Oxbow Books, 2006 – History P.95〕
