Experts noted that the find provides a unique look at the medical practice of the ancient Roman Empire.
A team of researchers in the Hungarian region of Yassag has discovered the tomb of a Roman doctor containing a rare collection of medical equipment. This was reported by Heritage Daily.
After radiocarbon dating, the tools were dated to the 1st century AD. This allows us to associate the burial with the transitional period, when part of modern Hungary was included in the Roman province of Pannonia.
In particular, medical instruments include tweezers, needles, tweezers and finely decorated copper alloy scalpels with interchangeable blades.
Remnants of medicines were also found in the burial.
As for the doctor, the examination of the skeleton showed that he was a man between the ages of 50 and 60. The cause of his death is unknown as no signs of injury or illness were found. However, the team intends to perform an isotopic analysis of the skeleton to determine if it is a local resident.
It was previously reported that beneath the streets of Italian Naples, archaeologists discovered a hidden underground necropolis.
