guy Posted Sunday at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:11 AM (edited) Archaeologists at Heraclea Sintica in south-western Bulgaria have uncovered an extremely rare Roman bladder-stone surgical instrument—a lithoulkos—found beside the Temple of Hercules, offering direct physical evidence of advanced medical practices at the site. The find dates to the third century AD. Darn. That looks painful. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2026/07/ancient-bladder-stone-surgery-tool-discovered-at-bulgarian-roman-city/158530 Edited yesterday at 12:31 AM by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
