A fragment of the organic glass found inside the skull of the deceased individual in Herculaneum.

The brain belonged to a man killed in his bed inside a building called the Collegium on the main street of the Roman city Herculaneum.

A badly burnt scroll from the Roman town of Herculaneum has been digitally "unwrapped", providing the first look inside for 2,000 years.

The ancient text was unreadable until now after being charred in the Roman town of Herculaneum during the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii.

Also mentioned are the anonymous inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum who suffocated under the ash of Mount Vesuvius.
