GRECO-ROMAN BRONZE MEDICAL INSTRUMENT
AD 200-426
Man has practiced medicine including surgery since ancient times. Historians believe a piece of flint stone was the first surgeon's tool used by man. Greeks are typically accredited with the beginning of medicine. For nearly 600 years medicine was taught and practiced not only in Greece but in surrounding countries. It continued to evolve under the Romans. Julius Caesar gave citizenship to Greek physicians practicing in Rome. Herein is an authentic Greco-Roman bronze medical instrument.
