Ancient Volcano Victim Carried Doctor's Toolkit

Researchers have identified a doctor who died in the Pompeii eruption nearly 2,000 years ago. They used X-rays, CT scans, and 3D technology to examine a victim’s remains. Inside a bag the person carried, the team found a set of medical instruments. The tools include scalpels, forceps, and a probe. This discovery confirms the victim was a physician fleeing Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The technology allowed experts to see the objects without damaging the fragile cast. The find offers a rare, direct look at ancient Roman medical practice.
