For joining different pieces, they developed several methods, including a sophisticated process also known to Etruscan and Greek goldsmiths; it is called granulation, a form of oxygenless welding in which a drop of copper acetate (made by dissolving copper in vinegar) and glue was used to fuse the gold...
