Ancient Roman Medical & Surgical Instruments
Medicine in ancient Rome was not such a pleasant thing, and surgery was close to torture. Here is a select collection of bronze tools and instruments Roman doctors and surgeons would have used to perform their work. All found near a Roman military encampment in Thrace, near the Black Sea.
Amazing Roman bronze ligula, 100-300 AD. This long spoon was used to draw out medicines and other materials from glass beakers and vials (see my section on Roman glass).
