What is Graeco-Roman Dioptra Speculum Analysis about?

This document summarizes a Graeco-Roman speculum that is part of the Wellcome Collection museum. It provides context on the use of specula in ancient Greek and Roman medicine for gynecological exams and treatments. The speculum described is made of three curved blades that fit together to form a phallic shape, with rings connecting the side bars. It was acquired from a site in Lebanon and matches the design of other known Graeco-Roman specula.
