These bronze tweezers, 2 7\/8” (2.84”) long, were used for that purpose. They have a sliding ring which locks the jaws for plucking. The sliding locking ring assures a firm grip. 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/style\/article\/roman-tweezers-discovery-gbr-scli-intl\/index.html\"\u003eCNN\u003c\/a\u003e.
