The Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43 led to a lasting decline in population health, especially in urban areas, according to a new study of ancient skeletons. Researchers found higher rates of bone abnormalities and nutritional deficiencies among people in Roman towns compared to the Iron Age. These effects persisted for generations due to diseases, social inequalities, and poor living conditions.

Archaeologists excavating a long-buried construction site in Pompeii have uncovered a preserved workshop that sheds light on how Romans produced their durable concrete. The findings challenge previous understandings of Roman building techniques and highlight the material's self-repairing properties. The site, frozen by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, offers a rare snapshot of ancient engineering in action.
