ROMAN DEFOLIATION TWEEZERS 1ST-3RD CENTURY AD

Item Details

Description

Romans were fastidious about hygiene and removal of all body hair was part of the grooming process. These bronze tweezers were used for that purpose. A recent exhibition at Wroxeter in Shropshire, England features over 50 pairs of such tweezers along with other artifacts. A CNN article on the exhibition, illustrating tweezers such as this and their use, is available at https://www.cnn.com/style/article/roman-tweezers-discovery-gbr-scli-intl/index.html. This pair is bronze, just over 2” length, complete and functional. A certificate of authenticity is included.
