Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#52
Thanks.

Does anybody know the percentage of copper and tin in 100gram bronze. I know it is 90% copper and 10% tin now, but what percentages did the romans use for belt parts like a buckle and pugio froggs?

I don`t have found a good person who can mould bronze for me, so I have to do it by myself
(aka Niels)
