Roman Surgical Instruments

[Gashford]

Hello folks,<br>
<br>
I know the the ladies and men of LEG II AVG have got quite an array of this equipment in their displays and have had modern surgeons stop and remark at how similar many of the ancient tools are in comparison to the shape of modern ones, all that has often changed is the material used to make them from.<br>
<br>
Below are a few images, the first two from part of the display by Domina, the civilian section of LEG II AVG and the second image is from the military medicus of LEG II AVG.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
