An arsenical bronze is a natural alloy of tin consisting of a small amount of arsenic, of a better quality than pure copper.
Bronze is a mixture of approx 88% copper and 12% tin and is thought to have been around since as early as 4000BC in ancient Iran and Iraq and was common by 3000BC around the remainder of the Mediterranian. Interesting fact before the more common copper/tin bronze an earlier version combined copper/arsenic but it wasn't as strong or durable and of course it would have been highly toxic due to the arsenic
