1st-century burial holds Roman doctor buried with medical tools, including 'top-quality' scalpels

The archaeologists speculate that the physician may have been travelling beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire to treat someone when he died. Here we see an old human skull on a table.

The grave of a medical man who died roughly 2,000 years ago has been unearthed in Hungary, along with needles, forceps, scalpels and other tools he used for his profession..

The medical toolset, dating from the first century A.D., is a rare find, according to a translated statement released on April 25 by Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest. Similar finds have been made only at the Roman city of Pompeii.
