تعريف orichalcum في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.

A valuable yellow metal known to the ancient Greeks and Romans; now sometimes interpreted as referring to a natural alloy of gold and copper, and sometimes treated as a mythical substance

Many walls were coated with metals – with brass, tin and a red metal, unknown to us, called orichalcum.

Orichalcum is a metal mentioned in several ancient writings, most notably the story of Atlantis as recounted in the Critias dialogue, recorded by Plato. According to Critias, orichalcum was considered second only to gold in value, and was found and mined in many parts of Atlantis in ancient times. By the time of Critias, however, it was known only by name. In numismatics, orichalcum is the golden-colored bronze alloy used for the sestertius and dupondius coins

[MASS NOUN] A yellow metal prized in ancient times, probably a form of brass or a similar alloy. ORIGIN late Middle English: via Latin from Greek oreikhalkon, literally ‘mountain copper’
