OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMETRY AND METALLOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF ROMAN MIRRORS FROM DOBRUDJA, ROMANIA

Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

The miscellaneous population of Roman Empire, their diverse cultural tradition, their ability to assimilate the roman civilization spirits, had determinate a permanent reassessment on roman contribution. the object of this work is the study of some roman-source mirrors, discovered recently in Dobrudja zone, Romania. Analysis was undertaken using optical emission spectrometry and of optic microscopy aiming at identifying the constituents and the type of structure we are dealing with. All of the roman metal-mirrors analysed have been found as made of speculum, with one exception. Although chemically the samples are alike, structurally they differ a lot, due to the various modalities of processing these.
