"Have we [identified/studied] any diseases of the time [in the Basilica Cistern], any remains (human or otherwise) of note?...I feel like it would’ve been a perfect place to preserve some sort of animal or plant specimen, as it must be dark & fairly cool temps." #Medieval #Byzantine #BasilicaCistern
