bronze armor

Classical warrior's shell

Bronze armor is protective body covering made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

Used by ancient civilizations including Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, it predates iron armor and appears frequently in historical and fantasy contexts: The warrior's bronze armor gleamed in the sunlight.

In video games, bronze armor typically represents early-game equipment, stronger than leather but weaker than iron or steel.
