Summary: "Ancient Armour and Weapons in Europe" by John Hewitt is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the military equipment and warfare practices of various cultures across Europe, specifically from the Iron Age through the end of the 13th century.

Hewitt provides an overview of the major racial and cultural shifts that contributed to the development of weaponry and military tactics, emphasizing the reliability of historical sources and archaeological finds in reconstructing pasts.
