Banded mail is a neologism, coined in the 1800s, century, describing a type of composite armor formed by combining the concepts behind the Roman lorica segmentata with plated mail splint mail . Its historicity is doubtful. It has become entrenched in the popular consciousness as a result of its inclusion in the armor list for Dungeons and Dragons . Terminology Confusion arises because of the wide variety of terms by which similar armors are known. Banded mail has been described as a form of mail armour mail reinforced with bands of leather , as overlapping horizontal strips of laminated metal sewn over a backing of normal chain mail and soft leather backing and as many thin sheets of metal are hammered or riveted together . The last description more closely fits splinted mail , which consists of long metal splints connected by mail leather used for arm and leg protection. The final description of metal plates riveted to a sub strate describe a coat of plates , jack of plates or brigandine , all of which consist of metal plates riveted to a leather or cloth fronting. Finally, armor constructed of rows of plates otplatelets sewn or laced together, without backing fronting, would be considered laminar . The current term for small metal plates joined together by chainmail seems to be plate mail or plated mail .
