Two researchers, Marcel Roth and Micha Nowak, have successfully identified a sealed papyrus scroll carbonized during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius as part of Philodemus' work, On Vices. Utilizing an artificial intelligence model originally designed for medical imaging, they have unveiled this historical text, marking a significant advancement in the field of archaeology and ancient studies. This achievement will aid in efforts to read many other fragile scrolls uncovered in Herculaneum, some of which remain unreadable since their discovery in 1752 due to their delicate condition.
