Surgical instruments for an amputation ala Celsius
#6
I've found some of Marco's works here on the forum - great stuff! I've PMed him, as you suggested.

Carrying on with surgical instruments, does anyone know whether there were special surgical needles for sewing wounds, or whether any kind would work (I assume the latter, given the extreme difficulties of identifying the context), and what they would use as thread.

Incidentally, I'll really have to make it to the Roman museum in Nijmegen soon!
