In this period, Illyrian shields were made of wood and leather and as a result no such example has survived. During the Iron Age a metal plate-cover was attached to the shields. The most common Illyrian shield was the circular shield, although northern Illyrians and the <a href="/wiki/Japodes" class="mw-redirect" title="Japodes">Japodes</a> also used an oval or rectangular type. The circular shield was small, and was decorated with embedded circles and semicircles on the sides. It resembled the Macedonian shield of the time, but differed in the number of circles, which were a symbolic decoration. One of the best examples of the Illyrian circular shield, coated in bronze, was found in a <a href="/wiki/Liburnian" class="mw-redirect" title="Liburnian">Liburnian</a> necropolis in <a href="/wiki/Nin,_Croatia" title="Nin, Croatia">Nin</a> and dates from the 4th century BC. The circular shield was widely used from Glasinac in <a href="/wiki/Bosnia" class="mw-redirect" title="Bosnia">Bosnia</a> to <a href="/wiki/Albania" title="Albania">Albania</a>. They are depicted on Illyrian city coins of <a href="/wiki/Lezh%C3%AB" title="Lezhë">Lezhë</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shkod%C3%ABr" title="Shkodër">Shkodër</a>. Similar to the Illyrian oval shield in northern Illyria was the shield that the <a href="/wiki/Celts" title="Celts">Celts</a> brought with them during the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in the 4th-3rd centuries BC. The Celtic shield was wooden and oblong, with an iron boss.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Breast_armor">Breast armor</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Illyrian_weaponry&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Breast armor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Breast armour was a rare and very interesting part of Illyrian armor. A type of breast-armor made of bronze plate was only used by northern Illyrians. Up to now only three of these have been discovered in Novo Mesto, Sticna-Verpole and St. Vid. All date before 500 BC. Other Illyrian did not use breast armor. Only the Glasinac Illyrians used a type of breast armor if breast armor can be considered a jacket made of cloth or leather with parts of bronze. Another form of body armor was a bronze pectoral that may have protected part of the back as well. It was more like a disc "breastplate" of 10 cm in diameter.<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Greaves">Greaves</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Illyrian_weaponry&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Greaves"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 7th century BC, bronze greaves were used by Illyrian warriors.

Many scientists date the oldest Illyrian helmets from the 7th century BC Greece and according to them later helmets found in southern Illyria also from the 7th century BC are imports from Greece. However, other experts, especially the Albanian archaeologist Hasan Ceka, present arguments in favor of the indigenous Illyrian helmet. According to Ceka the Illyrian helmet is an original Illyrian type of helmet dating from the 7th century BC and used up to the 2nd century BC, and not only up to the 4th century BC, as thought earlier. Proof of such late use is offered by depictions of the helmet on Illyrian coins, especially those of king <a href="/wiki/Gentius" title="Gentius">Gentius</a>. Helmets were a privilege limited to the minority of warriors who could afford or obtain them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Swords">Swords</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Illyrian_weaponry&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Swords"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:SicaAncient.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/SicaAncient.jpg/150px-SicaAncient.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="352" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/SicaAncient.jpg/225px-SicaAncient.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/SicaAncient.jpg 2x" data-file-width="256" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Sica" title="Sica">Sica</a>, ancient weapon of the <a href="/wiki/Illyrians" title="Illyrians">Illyrians</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The main Illyrian fighting sword was the <a href="/wiki/Sica" title="Sica">sica</a>, a short single-edged curved sword used by the <a href="/wiki/Thraex" title="Thraex">Thraex</a> gladiators in the Roman world.
