<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 4400925, member: 87404&quot;]Well the base metal is meant to be a copper alloy, and is more than likely bronze.&nbsp; There was not a huge overarching standard of amounts of other metals to be added to the base metal/copper across antiquity like there is more so today (like an agreed upon &quot;this is the exact formula for bronze and this is the exact formula for brass&quot;).&nbsp; So when the AE is used it is meaning it is a copper-based alloy of varying levels/additives.&nbsp; So your&#039;s is copper-based and could easily be called bronze...&nbsp; what the exact measurements are would require a sample and analysis.&nbsp; There are some metallurgical research and studies done for groups from various locations in ancient times you could search for if you are interested in such details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
