Brass helmets versus bronze helmets
#1
It seems that brass wasn't common in roman use untill the 1st Century AD
(yes I don't use the politically correct CE and BCE) and therafter items were
often some form of Gunmetal (Copper tin zinc alloys). A search of the internet turns up articles with information on Roman alloy but they typically want $50.00 to read them. Does anyone have any actual test infomantion on
Roman bronze helmets?
