Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminiummanganesenickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals ormetalloids such as arsenicphosphorus or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone, or have other useful properties, such as stiffness, ductility, or machinability.

Usage

During the 5th century BCE in Greece, bronze was a material used in weapons and armor. The Spartan misthios Kassandra purchased and looted many of this in her travels.[1]

In the 1st century BCE in Egypt, the use of bronze was less common but still used in the creation of weapons. The Medjay-turned-Hidden One Bayek purchased and looted many of this in his travels. Bronze was also found by Bayek across the country and used to upgrade his gear.[2]
