Weapons and armour of Middle-earth are those of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy writings, such as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Tolkien modelled his fictional warfare on the Ancient and Early Medieval periods of history. His depiction of weapons and armour particularly reflect Northern European culture as seen in Beowulf and the Norse sagas. Tolkien established this relationship in The Fall of Gondolin, the first story in his legendarium to be written. In this story, the Elves of Gondolin use the mail armour, swords, shields, spears, axes and bows of Northern European warfare. In Tolkien's writings, these kinds of weapons and armour are used by his fictional races, including Elves, Dwarves, Men, Hobbits, and Orcs.

  • Questo è un elenco delle armi utilizzate nelle opere di J. R. R. Tolkien. La maggior parte di queste compaiono nei racconti Lo Hobbit, Il Signore degli Anelli e Il Silmarillion, che costituiscono il corpus principale delle opere dello scrittore ambientate nell'universo immaginario di Arda e della Terra di Mezzo. Trattandosi di un'ambientazione high fantasy, le armi e le armature si basano su modelli reali tardo antichi e alto medievali, quali spade, archi, lance, cotte di maglia e scudi. Le stesse armi vengono riprese, a volte con radicali modifiche, negli adattamenti dei libri, e in particolare nelle trilogie cinematografiche de Il Signore degli Anelli e de Lo Hobbit. (it)
