From our friends at Legio XXI Rapax. A capsa and rolled instrument pouch used by Roman medici (medics). The term "capsarsius," which denotes what we now think of as a first-responder / platoon medic, derived from the capsa each carried.

2️⃣ ฟันของฟาโรห์ ฝันร้ายที่แท้จริง

⤷ คนอียิปต์โบราณกินขนมปังเป็นหลัก แต่ปัญหาคือแป้งในยุคนั้น มักปนเศษทรายหรือผงหินจากการโม่
⤷ ผลคือ ฟันสึกหนักมาก สึกจนเคี้ยวอะไรก็ทรมาน บางคนลามไปถึงฝีหนองและการติดเชื้อ ทำให้อาจเสียชีวิตได้
⤷ ฟาโรห์อาจมีทองคำเต็มตัว แต่ถ้าปวดฟันขึ้นมา ก็ไม่ได้มีคลินิกหมอฟันที่รอทำฟันให้เรา
