Scientists analyzed bottle residue from ancient Rome. They found human feces

Scientists studied old bottles from ancient Rome. They found something surprising: human poop! It seems the Romans sometimes used poop as medicine. They mixed it with perfume. Archeologists think this strange mix was used as a medical treatment. We don't know exactly what illnesses it treated. But it shows that medicine in ancient Rome was very different from medicine today. It might seem gross to us now, but they thought it could help them feel better. This discovery gives us a peek into how people lived and treated sicknesses a long time ago.
