6 aes
aes, aeris (often used in plur. nom. and acc.; abl. aeribus, Cato ap. Paul. ex Fest. p. 27 Müll., and Lucr. 2, 636; gen. AERVM, Inscr. Orell. 3551), n. [cf. Germ. Eisen = iron, Erz = copper; Goth. aiz = copper, gold; Angl.Sax. ar, ær = ore, copper, brass; Eng. iron, ore; Lat. aurum; with the com. notion of brightness; cf. aurora, etc.].I.Any crude metal dug out of the earth, except gold and silver; esp.,a.Aes Cyprium, whence cuprum, copper: scoria aeris, copper dross or scoria, Plin. 34, 11, 24, § 107:b.aeris flos,

id. 34, 17, 48, § 163:aurum et argentum et aes,
Vulg. Ex. 25, 3.—An alloy, for the most part of copper and tin, bronze (brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, was hardly known to the ancients. For their bronze coins the Greeks adhered to copper and tin till B.C. 400, after which they added lead. Silver is rare in Greek bronze coins. The Romans admitted lead into their bronze coins, but gradually reduced the quantity, and, under Calig., Nero, Vesp., and Domit., issued pure copper coins, and then reverted to the mixture of lead. In the bronze mirrors now existing, which are nearly all Etruscan, silver predominated to give a highly reflecting surface. The antique bronze had about 87 parts of copper to 13 of tin. An analysis of several objects has given the following centesimal parts: statua ex aere, Cic. Phil. 9, 6:II.simulacrum ex aere factum,
Plin. 34, 4, 9, § 15:valvas ex aere factitavere,
id. 34, 3, 7, § 13.—Hence:ducere aliquem ex aere,

ib. Maarc. 6, 8:etiam aureos nummos aes dicimus,

Liv. 5, 12:indicibus dena milia aeris gravis, quae tum divitiae habebantur, data,
