=** Roman Metalworking **=

The workers of Roman used raw copper, lead, tin, silver, iron, gold, and alloys, such as bronze. They made a variety of useful objects with these metals, including stamped decoration, incision, and techniques of granulation. The Romans also made metal household goods like bronze agriculture tools, drinking and storing vessels made out of lead, and iron cauldrons. They also made: -astonishing jewelries (tender gold necklaces, crowns, false teeth, etc...), -luxuries (bronze mirrors, gold clothing fasteners, fibulae, etc...), -religious objects (statues, ceremonial urns, etc...), -objects used in the army (armor suits, bronze draggers, spears, clubs, and shields), -musical instruments and tools (trumpets made of bronze and copper), all out of metalwork.
