<p>Scientists have used a 2,000-year-old recipe to recreate the perfume used by Roman dictator Julius Caesar, thousands of years after his death.</p>

<p>The monarch, who ruled from 46 through 44 BC, is believed to have worn a specific fragrance known as "Telinum". This fragrance was created using a mixture of flowers, fruits, oils and a special ingredient known as 'gladiator sweat'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although Egyptians have been credited with the invention of perfume which is used for ritualistic and medicinal purposes, it was refined by the Romans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The scientists looked into the historical accounts of the perfume and scent used by Caesar before recreating it.</p>

<p>According to the researchers, they took reference from written works to understand the kind of scents which were used in the perfume of Caesar and checked "both ancient writers and works of his close friends."</p>

<p>The team found that Caesar's perfume was filled with a mix of mint, rose, lemon, bergamot, lavender, jasmine, water lily, violet, oud cedarwood and amber. The last ingredient they added was the weird sweat of gladiators.</p>

THIS 2,000-year-old recipe, which includes gladiator's sweat can recreate perfume used by Caesar

<p>Space exploration recently got a significant breakthrough after the astronauts in the International Space Station were able to generate clean water successfully by distilling urine and capturing moisture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This milestone was achieved by the team by utilising the space station's Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The system was designed to collect wastewater, which included moisture released from the sweat and breath of the crew. The wastewater was sent to the Water Processor Assembly (WPA), where the astronauts produced drinkable water.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additionally, water from urine was recovered by the Urine Processor Assembly (UPA) through vacuum distillation. However, urine brine was generated from this distillation process, which contained some water components. &nbsp;</p>
