minus-square@atempuser23link15•22 hours agoI see why you had to ask. It’s a hard question to search for. Everything seems to start with Curie or Röntgen. I found an article. https://scienceinfo.net/the-ancient-romans-used-radioactive-substances-to-make-decorations.html about ancient Roman radium glass. But that seems to indicate Ancient Romans knew about it, but not how they knew and if others did.
