Copper is a chemical element with a pinkish-orange hue, which is commonly used as a component of alloys, most notably bronze. The metal is malleable and has high thermal and electrical conductivity, bending and melting with ease.[1]
History
In ancient Rome, the metal was mostly imported from Cyprus, after which the metal was named.[1]
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.[2]
During the American Revolutionary War, the Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton traded and used copper, among other things.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood description of Copper Ore references the origins of copper's name: what began as aes cyprium (metal of Cyprus/Cyprian metal) later evolved into various forms, among them the English copper.[4]
