= a kind of vest or shirt covering the upper part of the body and made of several hundred small bronze scales or platelets overlapping each other and sewn on a cloth or leather base; the scales were thin and about 11 by 6 centimeters; such armor was lighter than a solid metal breastplate and was also more flexible, giving greater maneuverability; used especially by soldiers who could not carry a shield but still needed protection in battle (for example, a chariot driver).
