Archaeologists have discovered some pills from an ancient sunken ship, and recently, researchers have cracked the ingredients of these pills, confirming that ancient Mediterranean civilization possessed complex medicines. Around 130 BC, the ship called Relitto del Pozzino sank off the coast of Tuscany, Italy. Until 1974, the sunken Relitto del Pozzino was discovered. Archeologists found some amphora bottles for wine and several tin cans from the ship. These relics may have come from the Eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, they found 5 ancient pills in a tin can. Erika Ribechini and colleagues at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry at the University of Pisa in Italy studied the chemical, mineralogical and botanical composition of these gray tablets and found that this ancient tablet manufacturing technology may be very complicated and published the results of the study in Journal of the Academy of Sciences. The researchers claimed that the tablets measured about 4 cm in diameter and about 1 cm thick. An analysis of a broken tablet fragment suggests that the most abundant component of the tablet is a zinc-containing compound. The research team also found that the tablet contains a mixture of iron oxide, starch, beeswax, turpentine, and vegetable and animal fats. In addition, they detected a large amount of plant residues, including charcoal, flax fiber and starch granules, as well as pollen from olives, wheat and many other plants. The research report pointed out that more than half of the pollen particles in this tablet originated from insect pollinators, which suggests that these particles may be added to it through a common ingredient, such as bee products, rather than specifically added to this Separate ingredients in medicine. The authors say that the composition and shape of these pills suggest that they may be eye drops such as eye wash.
