PATINA: noble / vile or virulent
In an effort to bring some clarity and precision to the use of the term, the late John Gettens wrote an important study of the corrosion crusts found on buried bronze artifacts entitled “Patina: noble and vile” after Pliny’s 1st century CE distinctions between “aerugo nobilis” and “virus aerugo”, describing corrosion that is desirable, stable and attractive and corrosion that is unattractive and virulent.
