Avete! For all those metallurgists out there, a question. If I were to make a helmet, breastplate, etc., out of bronze, what would the most authentic chemical breakdown be? (Time period 1st-2nd C. AD if that makes any diffference.) Many metal supply stores carry silicon bronze, but I know this is a relatively modern version of the ancient metal. McMaster Carr <span style="color:blue;">www.mcmaster.com/</span> offers many, many different bronzes (type "bronze" into the search window). Out of what is choices McMaster Carr offers here, what would the most accurate choice(s)?<br>

Thanks in advance for any help!<br>
