Roman Super Glue

[Tarbicus]

- Someone on the archaeoforum argues that this was simply "Treibkitt" (molding cement), which was left in the silver sheet metal to fill the area between iron and silver, so that it couldn´t be deformed so easily.

- If it is actually glue, then it would help to solve the problem of helmet lining.

- I fact the composition of the material is VERY similar to moulding cement.

That in itself is incredibly interesting. It makes the whole idea of intricate silver decoration a lot more reasonable to many here :wink: In fact, Anthony's Cold Weld techniques could be used to great effect - making the mouldings and applying silver sheet on top, perhaps?
