    Here’s a nifty 1,800 year-old Roman version of present day Swiss Army Knife ~ complete with folding spoon, fork, spatula, pick, spike & knife. About 6in (15 cm) long, made from silver, with knife of iron (Mediterranean, 3C, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge) https://museumcrush.org/romans-invented-swiss-army-knife/ … pic.twitter.com/boK0tASkXq

        And look at the styling - the craftsmanship - on just the fork, for example
