Belgrade (ancient Singidunum) area had a very turbulent past. It was place of numerous battles and sieges, since Roman times, up to late Medieval period. Many peoples and tribes have settled or were just pillaging the area, leaving us with many interesting pieces of their weaponry.
In the Museum’s collection you can see weapons of different Germanic and Slavic tribes, as well as of the peoples originating from the Eurasian Pontic steppes. Also, there are pieces used by Medieval warriors from Serbia, Hungary, Byzantium, Bulgaria, Turkey and western Europe

Srednjovekovno oružje i oklopi iz zbirke Muzeja Grada Beograda koji potču iz razdoblja kasne antike i seobe naroda, pa sve do kasnog srednjovekovnog perioda, iz razdoblja od 4. do 16. veka.
Zbirku čine raznovrsni tipovi naoružanja i oklopa - mačevi, bodeži, šlemovi, grudni oklopi, astele (za luk i samostrel), koplja, buzdovani, sekire, mamuze, delovi štitova... pronađeni u Beogradu, glavnom gradu Srbije i okolini.
Područje Beograda imalo je burnu istoriju, pošto su se tu odigrale brojne bitke i opsade, još od vremena Rima, pa sve do srednjeg veka, a mnogi narodi i plemena su se naseljavali u ovoj oblasti ili su je samo pljačkali, ostavljajući za sobom brojne ostatke u vidu ratničke opreme.
U zbirci muzeja je oružje koje je pripadalo različitim germanskim i slovenskim plemenima, kao i narodima koji potiču sa istoka, iz evropazijskih crnomorskih stepa. Tu je i naoružanje koje su koristili srednjovekovni srpski, mađarski, vizantijski, bugarski i zapadnoevropski ratnici
