鳞甲在近东有着悠久的历史，几乎是草原游牧民族独有的盔甲。虽然艺术中对斯基泰人的描绘很少显示他们穿着盔甲，但大量的考古发现却出土了鳞甲。萨尔马提亚人以鳞甲而闻名，鳞甲覆盖了他们的身体和马匹。鳞甲在帕提亚铁甲骑兵中达到了最高的发展水平。盔甲包括用于手臂和腿部的柔性环形盔甲。另一方面，类似长袍的非常柔软的长袍形式的层状盔甲是萨珊王朝时期的主要盔甲类型，并最终被引入东突厥斯坦和中国。卡尔查扬遗址描绘了轻型和重型装甲人物，但方形薄板的连接方式尚不清楚。硬币上描绘的大夏贵霜统治者强调轻骑兵，但后来的统治者则以鳞甲或板甲描绘，并配有灵活的环腿甲和臂甲。正如艺术中描绘的那样，该地区的盔甲显示出希腊罗马的影响，以及南方印第安人和北方游牧民族的影响。
Scale armor had a long history in the Near East and was almost exclusively the armor of the steppeland nomads. While depictions of Scythians in art seldom show them wearing armor, extensive archaeological finds yield scale armor. The Sarmatians were famed for scale armor which covered their bodies and that of their horses. Scale armor reached its furthest level of development among the Parthian cataphracti. The armor included flexible ring armor for the arms and legs. On the other hand, lamellar armor in the form of a long, caftan-like very supple suit was the dominant type of armor during the Sasanian period and eventually was introduced into Eastern Turkestan and China. The Khalchayan site has depictions of both light and heavy armored figures, but the manner in which the square laminae were joined is not clear. The Kushan rulers of Bactria shown on coins emphasized light cavalry, but later ones are depicted in scale or plate armor with the flexible ring leg and arm armor. As depicted in art, the armor of this area displayed Greco-Roman influences as well as that of the Indians to the south and the nomads to the north.
