bronze swords

Pre-iron age weapons

Bronze swords are swords made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

The term appears most often in historical contexts, fantasy games, and role-playing settings where bronze represents an early technological tier: You'll need to craft bronze swords before you can unlock iron weapons.

In archaeology, bronze swords mark the Bronze Age transition from stone to metal weaponry.
