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:

For everything made or prepared from copper, bronze, etc. ( statues, tables of laws, money), and (as the ancients had the art of hardening and tempering copper and bronze) weapons, armor, utensils of husbandry: aes sonit, franguntur hastae, the trumpet sounds, Enn. ap. Non. 504, 32 (Trag. v. 213 Vahl.):

Et prior aeris erat quam ferri cognitus usus: Aere solum terrae tractabant, aereque belli Miscebant fluctus et vulnera vasta serebant, etc.,

Lucr. 5, 1287:

quae ille in aes incidit, in quo populi jussa perpetuasque leges esse voluit,

Cic. Phil. 1, 17; cf. id. Fam. 12, 1; Tac. A. 11, 14; 12, 53; id. H. 4, 40: aere ( with the trumpet, horn) ciere viros, Verg. A. 6, 165:

non tuba directi, non aeris cornua flexi,

Ov. M. 1, 98 (hence also rectum aes, the tuba, in contr. with the crooked buccina, Juv. 2, 118); a brazen prow, Verg. A. 1, 35; the brazen age, Hor. Epod. 16, 64.—In plur.: aera, Cato ap. Paul. ex Fest. p. 27 Müll.; Verg. A. 2, 734; Hor. C. 4, 8, 2 al.—

Money: the first Roman money consisted of small rude masses of copper, called aes rude, Plin. 33, 3, 13, § 43; afterwards as coined:

aes signatum,

Cic. Leg. 3, 3; Plin. 33, 3, 13, § 43;

so aes alone: si aes habent, dant mercem,

Plaut. As. 1, 3, 49:

ancilla aere suo empta,

Ter. Phorm. 3, 2, 26: aes circumforaneum. borrowed from the brokers in the forum, Cic. Att. 2, 1: Hic meret aera liber Sosiis, earns them money, Hor. A. P. [p. 61] 345:

gravis aere dextra,

Verg. E. 1, 36:

effusum est aes tuum,

Vulg. Ez. 16, 36:

neque in zona aes (tollerent),

ib. Maarc. 6, 8:

etiam aureos nummos aes dicimus,

Dig. 50, 16, 159.—Hence,

Aes alienum, lit. the money of another; hence, in reference to him who has it, the sum owed, a debt, Plaut. Curc. 3, 1, 2:

habere aes alienum,

Cic. Fam. 5, 6:

aes alienum amicorum suscipere,

to take upon one's self, id. Off. 2, 16:

contrahere,

to run up, id. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 8:

Caes. B. C. 3, 22:

liberare se aere alieno,

to get quit of, Cic. Att. 6, 2; so,

aes alienum dissolvere,

id. Sull. 56:

aere alieno exire,

to get out of, id. Phil. 11, 6.—

In aere meo est, trop., he is, as it were, among my effects, he is my friend (only in the language of common conversation):

Cic. Fam. 13, 62; 15, 14.—

Alicujus aeris esse, to be of some value, Gell. 18, 5.—

In aere suo censeri, to be esteemed according to its own worth, Sen. Ep. 87.—

Sometimes = as, the unit of the standard of money (cf. as); hence, aes grave, the old heary money (as weighed, not counted out):

denis milibus aeris gravis reos condemnavit,

Liv. 5, 12:

indicibus dena milia aeris gravis, quae tum divitiae habebantur, data,

id. 4, 60; so, aes alone and in the gen. sing., instead of assium:

aeris miliens, triciens,

a hundred millions, three millions, Cic. Rep. 3, 10:

qui milibus aeris quinquaginta census fuisset,

Liv. 24, 11.—Also for coins that are smaller than an as (quadrans, triens, etc.):

nec pueri credunt, nisi qui nondum aere, i. e. quadrante, lavantur (those who bathed paid each a quadrans),

Juv. 2, 152 (cf.:

dum tu quadrante lavatum Rex ibis,

Hor. S. 1, 3, 137).—

Wages, pay.

A soldier's pay = stipendium:

negabant danda esse aera militibus,

Liv. 5, 4. And soon after: annua aera habes: annuam operam ede.— Hence in plur., = stipendia, Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 13, § 33.—

Reward, payment, in gen., Juv. 6, 125: nullum in bonis numero, quod ad aes exit, that has in view or aims at pay, reward, Sen. Ep. 88.—

In plur.: aera, counters; hence also the items of a computed sum (for which, later, a sing. form aera, ae (q. v.), came into use): si aera singula probāsti, summam, quae ex his confecta sit, non probare? Cic. ap. Non. 3, 18.

carpo, psi, ptum, 3 [cf.: rapio, harpazô, karpos; Engl. grab, grip, grasp].

Ov. M. 2, 792:

nec carpsere jecur volucres,

ex collo furtim coronas,

to pull off, Hor. S. 2, 3, 256:

Cic. Tusc. 1, 2, 4:

officia et servata praetermissaque,

id. Ac. 1, 10, 37.—

Que nearly equivalent to autem, sed..., but (not in Cæs.):

studio ad rempublicam latus sum ibique multa mihi advorsa fuere,

but there, Sall. C. 3, 3.—Mostly after a negative:

Socrates nec patronum quaesivit nec judicibus supplex fuit, adhibuitque liberam contumaciam,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 29, 71; id. Cat. 2, 13, 28 fin.:

qui non temere movendam rem tantam expectandosque ex Hispaniā legatos censerent,

Liv. 21, 6, 7:

quae neque dant flammas lenique vapore cremantur,

Ov. M. 2, 811.—

Que is usually appended to the first word of the phrase, but to a noun rather than to a monosyllabic preposition governing it, unless the preposition is repeated:

de provinciāque,

Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 20, § 48:

per vimque,

id. Phil. 5, 4, 10; cf.:

ab iisque,

id. Tusc. 5, 33, 94:

sub occasumque solis,

Caes. B. G. 2, 11.—

Exceptions are to be found, especially in Liv.: proque ignoto,

Plaut. Capt. 3, 4, 10:

exque eo tempore,

Cic. Off. 2, 23, 80; 1, 34, 122:

Caes. B. G. 5, 36; Liv. 10, 37, 15; 40, 57, 5; Tac. A. 15, 45:

cumque eis,

Sall. C. 6, 1:

proque,

Liv. 4, 26, 9; 6, 26, 5; 30, 18, 2:

deque praedā,

eque,

Verg. E. 7, 13; Val. Max. 1, 5, 3:

exque eo,

Cels. 7, 27:

perque somnum,

id. 2, 5.—And where the same preposition is repeated que is regularly joined to it:

haec de se, deque provinciā,

Liv. 26, 28, 3; 22, 59, 16; 29, 23, 10; 31, 5, 4;

38, 35, 7: de matrimonio Agrippinae, deque Neronis adoptione,

Suet. Claud. 43 init.:

per senectutem tuam, perque eam, quam, etc.,

Plaut. As. 1, 1, 3. —

Where the preposition is dissyllabic it regularly takes the que: interque eos,

Liv. 2, 20, 8; 5, 49, 7:

sine scutis sineque ferro,

Cic. Caecin. 23, 64. —

It is rarely annexed to the second word of the clause, when the first word is an adverb: tantos tam praecipitisque casus,

Cic. de Or. 3, 4, 13:

tanto tam immensoque campo,

id. ib. 3, 31, 124 al.—In class. Latin que is not appended to hic, sic, nunc, huc, etc. (v. Madv. ad. Cic. Fin. 5, 14, 40):

hucque et illuc,

Tac. A. 13, 37; 15, 38: tuncque id. ib. 6, 7 (1);

14, 15.—Que is often misplaced by the poets, especially by Tibullus and Propertius in the latter part of the pentameter: Messallam terrā dum sequiturque mari,

Tib. 1, 3, 56:

ferratam Danaes transiliamque domum,

Prop. 2, 16, 11.
