IIRC some Roman scales were tinned. I think they sometimes even tinned bronze scales but I don't have a cite atm.
An example of alternating brass/tinned brass scale was discovered at Ham Hill.Another section was found at the St. Bernards Pass using three colours. Copper/brass/tinned
St Bernards Pass fragment..
