Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Current investigations at the British Museum of the main copper alloys used in the classical world have now covered some 1200 Greek and Etruscan 'bronzes' and established that at least three Etruscan pieces were of brass. This helps to reduce the isolation of the Athenian Agora find of zinc metal. However, even if both zinc and brass were known in Europe before the Roman Empire, the powerful contribution of the Romans in making full scale use of the cementation process by end of 1st century BC must not he overlooked. |
