Roman metallurgy

Roman metallurgy is like a type of science that the ancient Romans used to make things out of metal. They would get materials like iron and copper and mix them together to make all kinds of metal tools, weapons and even statues. To do this, they had to heat up the metal pieces to very high temperatures and sometimes add other materials to the mix. This way, they were able to make strong objects and sculptures that we still admire today.
