Eye and stone

Doctors in ancient Rome prepared oculist stamps, small stones etched with the names of the oculist and the remedies they used. Muriel Labonnelie is a specialist in ancient medicine who has studied these curious, seemingly insignificant pieces, which have allowed her to uncover extensive information on the history of Roman medicine.
