Description
Study of human diseases in the past has an important place in reconstruction of people's life conditions and health. This paper examines health status of a suburban ancient community in Remesiana which lived in the first half of the 4th century. Analyses of pathological and traumatic changes on skeletons and dental status were done on 51 individuals (28 children and 37 adults). The results show that the inhabitants of the ancient Remesiana had an optimal level of health, which distinguishes this population from the other suburban communities of that time.
