Hi guys,
every time I look at a work of Roman craftsmanship i am stunned, especially small precision work.
A few days ago I could see some works of Roman jewelry in Museum that I find it hard to imagine in roman time.
Every time that I build a replica I think this thing.
Techniques such as jewelry, coinmaking, cornelian...and much more.
But what tools available to the Romans to do objects so small and so perfect? What magnification systems for working so small? What specific equipment? Does anyone have information and photos of special tools? I'm very curious. You know a specific book on this subject?
I hope you understand my English :?
