Die Publikation bietet erstmals einen Gesamtüberblick über metallene Schutzwaffen (Helme, Panzer, Beinschienen) der europäischen Bronzezeit. Typologie und Chronologie sowie Herstellung und Verwendung der Schutzwaffen werden erörtet. Dies wurde durch eine umfassende Neuaufnahme vor allem osteuropäischer Funde und durch zahlreiche Materialanalysen möglich. This monograph provides an overview of all metal body armour from the European Bronze Age from a typo-chronological perspective but also in focusing on the manufacture and usage of such armour. This was enabled through the re-evaluation of central and eastern European finds in particular and their material analyses. The research history, distribution and chronology, as well as manufacture and use of helmets, greaves and cuirasses is discussed.

The suit of armour distinguishes the European Middle Ages & Renaissance from all other periods and cultures. Unlike flexible defences, popular everywhere else in the world, the rigid, articulated, exoskeleton of a "suit of armour" was a more extravagant and less adaptable means of personal protection. It required greater metallurgical resources to make, but offered far better protection against available weapons. This book tells the story from its invention in 14th century Lombardy, which depended on the production of the necessary steel, until its eventual decline in the 17th century, principally because of the development of another military technology, the gun. The metallurgy of 600 armours has been analysed, and their probable effectiveness in battle is assessed by means of mechanical tests.
