Description: | The Roman Collection of the Marischal Museum greatly reflects the colonial activities of its Alumni. The Collection (excluding the museum's comprehensive collection of Roman coins) ranges from a large collection of lamps and vases to smaller groups of medical instruments. A set of replica medical and surgical instruments, copies of instruments found in the physicians house in Pompeii, were donated to the Museum in 1935 by Dr C. M. Stephen. Mr John Stewart, an MD of Aberdeen University, donated a number of medical instruments, which formed the basis of his research for his published thesis 'Surgical Instruments in Greek and Roman Times'. The Roman collection holds over 100 lamps, donated from Dr Robert Wilson and J.W. Johnston, and 63 Vases of the period.
