This book presents the results of a unique macroscopic and
radiological analysis, by X-ray and CT scan, of the bone
pathologies of about 1800 subjects who lived at the time of the
Roman Empire (first and second centuries A.D.) and whose remains
were recovered during the excavation of a suburban necropolis of
Rome. The survey, which represents a collaboration between the
Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology and the Special
Superintendent for the Archaeological Heritage of Rome, has yielded
incredible images of different orthopaedic diseases in a period
when no surgical treatment was available: there are cases of
infection (osteomyelitis), metabolic disease (gout), hematologic
disease (multiple myeloma), traumatic lesions and their
complications and degenerative pathology (osteoarthritis,
particularly secondary and overload). A multidisciplinary team
including orthopaedists, paleopathologists, radiologists and
medical historians has evaluated the major groups of bone disease
in the population finding out incredible cases and picture of
ortho-traumatologic pathologies in a pre-surgical era. The
homogeneity of the sample and the number of subjects make this a
study of fundamental importance.
