In addition to a description of the inner ear (the famous “Eustachian tubes") in 1563, he was also reknowed for a detailed study of the structure of teeth.

I'm not far from thinking that this “cava denti” has the face (or at least the cap and beard) of Bartolomeo Eustachio, famous #anatomist of the time, #physician to Cardinal Giulio della Rovere and lecturer at La #Sapienza between 1555 and 1568.

Which may sell feminine products, such as hairpieces, but not all of them

Here's a record of how news was sold on the street in mid-16th c. Rome.

These "avvisi" were at the time only occasional news items, printed according to events, but very soon to be supplemented by the first periodicals, this time handwritten.

It's worth noting that the news vendor has a wooden leg
