I found some references to the Herculaneum soldier for a different topic, but I thought they deserved their own post.
Here is a nice illustration and a brief description of the man:

There is another description of him here in a very interesting read on, among other things, the height of a soldier:

Anyone else have any more references, seeing as he was a real soldier.

Quote:The man was about 37 years old, didn't get enough calcium when he was a kid (he was probably poor) and is missing three of his front teeth (he was probably a brawler). His arms are muscular and his shoulders tend to bulge.
