Iron weapons

Iron weapons refer to tools and armaments made from iron, a strong metal that was widely used in ancient and medieval warfare. The introduction of iron significantly improved weapon manufacturing, leading to stronger and more durable swords, spears, and shields compared to their bronze predecessors. Iron can be heated and shaped more easily, allowing for detailed designs and effective sharp edges. The advent of iron weapons played a crucial role in military advancements and power dynamics, contributing to the rise and fall of empires as armies equipped with iron weaponry gained advantages over those using weaker materials.
