TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of Cu-based archaeological artefacts from the Mediterranean basin have been selected for investigation of their chemical composition, metallurgical features and corrosion products (i.e. the patina).
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined use of SEM-EDS, OM and XRD for the characterization of corrosion products grown on silver roman coins
Gabriel Maria Ingo,S. Balbi,T. De Caro,Ignazio L. Fragalà,Emma Paola Maria Virginia Angelini,G. Bultrini +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion products grown on silver Roman coins during archaeological burial is studied by means of scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscopy (OM) techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microchemical investigation of Greek and Roman silver and gold plated coins: coating techniques and corrosion mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, the metallurgical techniques used by Romans and Greeks for coating the copper core of coins with a thin or thick layer of gold or silver are studied by means of the combined use of scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and optical microscopy (OM) techniques.
