Copper is a chemical element with a pinkish-orange hue, which is commonly used as a component of alloys, most notably bronze.
History
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.[1]
During the American Revolutionary War, the Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton traded and used copper, among other things.[2]
Behind the scenes
The metal was named after the island of Cyprus, where it was first mined; what began as Aes cyprium (metal of Cyprus/Cyprian metal) later corrupted into various forms, including the English copper.[3]
