The Wonders of Technology

This was in the exhibition within the Roman Baths complex. A sarcophagus was found & it contained this skeleton. With three aid of technology a reconstruction of this mans face was made. He was found to have come from the Syria area, which of course begs the question, “ why was he so far from home?”

Isn’t that amazing?! Yes indeed, he’s a long way from home!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing the skeleton although in pieces looks much happier than the re-construction !! But seriously I agree that technology is so wonderful !

[Milanie]

It's just amazing how they are able to do this. Almost hard to believe it. Nice shot of this display.

[Dawn]

Agree with both Beryl and Milanie

[Diana]

I can only repeat all the above ;-)

[Mave]

Fascinating

[Babs]

Amazing shot. They got about a bit these soldiers didn't they, probably an overseas posting.

[Carole G]

really interesting facts and you've photographed this beautifully. I always struggle with reflections

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that's a great capture and so interesting!

[Henri Russell]

Amazing That this reconstruction is possible. Is this a composite shot? The reconstruction seems to be floating in mid air. So interesting.

[Carole Sandford]

@henrir only one shot Henri. This was all behind glass.

It really is amazing what they are able to piece together now with 3D imaging. Knowing a little bit about the Roman Empire, I'm sure he was some sort of slave or servant. They really shuffled people around to keep nationalism at bay and loyalty to Rome high. Scattering people groups also prevented insurrection and provided a lot of labor for the massive building projects they tended to undertake. I would be lost for hours in this museum I think- I love to learn! Great shot!

Clever technology. I like the way the skull is looking at its own face.

A great shot and an interesting and amazing story.
