Oxygen was discovered centuries after the Romans. It was discovered by the Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele and the British clergyman Joseph Priestley independently in the late 18th century. Soon after that Lavoisier, the French chemist, conducted the first proper experiments on oxidation, gave the first correct explanation of how combustion works and coined the name oxygen.
