History[]

Bronze - an alloy of copper and tin - was discovered in the 4th millennium BCE. It was harder and more durable than copper, and so quickly overtook it as the preferred material for forging tools, arms, and armaments. Copper on shields disappeared quickly when this new technology was discovered, and existing copper was likely consumed to craft the stronger new metal.
