Gladiators battled lions and other wild animals in the arenas of the Roman Empire. But for all the tales of glorious combat depicted in ancient texts, marble reliefs and mosaics and then retold in movies and other modern media, archaeologists have never found direct physical evidence, like the skeletons of gladiators bearing animal-induced wounds. At last, proof of classical combat between man and beast has been found in the form of a skeleton from a Roman settlement in Britain. It is the first

Gladiatorial games are perhaps one of the most iconic and romanticized features of ancient Roman culture. Historical texts, bas-reliefs, pottery, and mosaics depict warriors fighting to the last breath for freedom and glory, often wrangling exotic beasts in front of crowds of cheering fans. While gladiatorial arenas such as the Roman Colosseum have survived for thousands of years, gladiators themselves have left behind little archaeological evidence, and even less that testifies to their legenda

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The discovery is one of the most significant findings in the search for evidence of past life on Mars. This is because, on Earth at least, relatively complex, long-chain carbon molecules are involved in biology. These molecules could actually be fragments of fatty acids, which are found in, for example, the membranes surrounding biological cells. Scientists think that, if lif

Peacocking, - São Jorge Castle, Lisbon, Portugal – Photo by Andrew Spence Not being able to get together in person is a pure negative. Reed Hastings – Netflix Co-founder The corporate peacock is alive and well. Feathers fluffed. Chest puffed. Strutting across near-empty floors in a grand display of status and control. Not because it makes work better — but because it once did. As Workforce Futurist merges with Work3, it feels fitting to mark this moment with a short obituary of sorts — not f

Gary Schildhorn received a call that no parent wants to receive. When Schildhorn picked up the phone, the voice of his panicked son told him that he had been in a car accident and was in jail. A second call, moments later, purportedly from a lawyer, gave Schildhorn instructions on how to pay the $9,000 bond. Schildhorn was preparing payment when he received a call from his real son, who was not, in fact, in jail. Schildhorn nearly fell victim to the growing trend of artificial intelligence (AI)-

For several years now, we've been following a tantalizing story indicating that the high heat of the ash cloud generated when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD was sufficiently hot to turn one of the victim's brains into glass. It remains a matter of debate in the archeological community, but a fresh analysis of the physical properties of the glass-like material found in the remains lends more evidence to the hypothesis, as detailed in a new paper published in the journal Scientific Reports. As p

Researchers just discovered evidence to suggest that Mars was once home to oceans and sandy beaches on the red planet, according to data published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . This is a far cry from the arid, freezing and radiation-filled conditions of modern Mars. Scientists discovered evidence of buried beaches after they analyzed below-ground imaging data from China’s Zhurong rover. This data from the northern lowlands of Mars is extremely similar to what research
