Bronze is an alloy made of copper and tin. The Romans, like other peoples in antiquity made alloys with varying percentages of tin and alloys which stood in between bronze and brass (which is an alloy with copper and zinc) by mixing copper, zinc and tin. The earliest tin alloys were made in the 4th millennium BC in Persia, Mesopotamia (present day Iraq) and China. Prior to this bronze was made by mixing copper with arsenic to make arsenic bronze. The use of tin made the bronze which made a superior quality of bronze and whose production was less hazardous.

Later in history bronze alloys with tin and stannite (a type of iron) tin and phosphorus, tin and aluminium, aluminium, beryllium and iron have also been produced.

The segmented type of armor came into style for most of the ground troops, while the cavalry preferred the chain mail type. The officers would sometimes have a cuirass sometimes made of bronze (expensive).The Romans used different types of armor at different times.
