The
long-term interaction between Cu-based alloys and environmental
species gives rise to the formation of different and sometimes unusual
compounds (i.e., the patina) with distinctive chemical and structural
features as a function of the peculiar characteristics of the context.
In this paper, we describe some representative case studies concerning
degraded bronze Roman valuable or common use objects, and we show
that an attentive study at a microscale level, as for forensic analysis,
allows one to understand the chemical processes that underlie the
formation of the surface alteration products. The achieved information
describe fragments of chemical life and disclose the complex chemical
changes suffered by the artifacts, allowing one to write their chemical
biography. This challenging approach expands the panorama of available
information and demonstrates that it is possible to reconstruct the
different modes through which the bronze surfaces and interfaces have
interacted with environmental species, organic matter, and microorganisms,
opening up a new possibility to describe complex environmental chemical
stories, in certain cases interrelated.
