Nothing that Vitruvius didn't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_M…

He was also interested in the inner workings of anatomy and may have discovered or rediscovered something about skeletal and muscular mechanics. But he didn't publish anything and probably didn't take part in other scientific discourse in that field, either.

he was a control freak and what ever he discovered he kept to himself and that made his discoveries worthless.
