Beneath the volcanic ash that erased Pompeii in 79 AD, a wooden box of surgical instruments has endured nearly two millennia to offer a rare and intimate portrait of Roman medicine. Archaeologists, finding the tools alongside human remains, believe they have identified a physician — a man who practiced a craft of scalpels, forceps, and bone instruments that would not look entirely foreign in a modern operating room. The discovery invites us to reconsider how far back the thread of scientific knowledge truly runs, and how catastrophe can, paradoxically, become the most faithful keeper of memory
