Copper is a chemical element with a pinkish-orange hue and is commonly used as an alloy component, most notably bronze.[1] The metal is malleable and has high thermal and electrical conductivity, bending and melting with ease.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
In ancient Rome, the metal was mostly imported from Cyprus, after which the metal was named.[2]
In 11th century England, copper was used by the Anglo-Saxons for things such as horse stirrups[3] and knife handles.[4]
During the Fourth Crusade, the Venetian Navy stole the four bronze horses as ornaments for the Basilica San Marco when the Crusaders captured Constantinople.[5]
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins utilized the metal to forge a number of weapons and armors for use against the Spanish Templars.[6]
During the American Revolutionary War in the British colonies, the Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton traded and used copper, among other things.[7]
