A team of archaeologists managed to virtually unroll papyrus scrolls, using a technique called x-ray phase-contrast tomography. The scrolls were among these found at Herculaneum in 18th century.
Archaeologists reconstructed the painted ceiling of a seaside Roman palace, House of Telephus, in Herculaneum destroyed by a volcanic eruption more than 2000 years ago.
New analysis of Herculaneum papyrus scroll fragments revealed the use of metallic ink in Greco-Roman literary inscription centuries earlier than previously thought.
