Bingen museum has a splendid set of Roman medical instruments, which I photographed on a visit two or three years ago.
I’ve been transcribing the museum explanations (which I also photographed) and trying to fit the pictures to the exhibits.
Have a look at this page. If anyone has more knowledge of doctors’ instruments than I (which would not be difficult!) and can guide me to better labelling, I’d be grateful.

CHILDREN at Taunton Prep School were visited by ‘Claudius Maximus’ in full Roman uniform.
The youngsters found out about discipline in the Roman Army and took part in a drill, marching around the school field.
They learned when the Romans invaded Britain and tried on different pieces of a Roman soldier’s uniform.
They also recreated a battle between the Celts and Romans where,
although the latter were outnumbered three to one, they were still
victorious due to superior tactics and their ability to maintain
formation.
