Ancient and medieval African warfare was characterized by a diverse array of weapons and armor, reflecting the continent’s rich and varied cultures. From the North African regions to the southern parts of the continent, a wide range of weaponry was utilized. Spears, such as the Zulu iklwa and the Maasai rungu, were commonly employed, alongside bladed weapons like swords and axes. Shields crafted from materials like animal hides offered protection in battle. Additionally, various types of body armor, including leather and metal, were used to safeguard warriors.
