Historie

This book explores three interwoven topics related to ancient Roman medical practice and aspects of the Roman military, shedding light on themes often overlooked in historical accounts. Reviewed by experts in Classical Archaeology and Medicine. Three treatises:

Ancient Roman Women Physicians • : Long thought to have played a negligible role in Roman history, archaeological evidence and ancient documents reveal that women physicians were as equally honoured and respected as and by their male colleagues. These pioneering medicae • held significant positions in Roman healthcare, contributing to the advancement of medicine and society. Roman Military Medicine • : Remarkably sophisticated, Roman military medicine included a range of practitioners, medical training, and advanced surgical techniques. This section delves also discusses the instruments used, such as scalpels and probes, as well as the ongoing debate surrounding valetudinaria • (military hospitals). Roman surgical kits were virtually identical to modern ones, demonstrating the ingenuity of ancient Roman medicine. Castra Praetoria • : An examination of the structure and topography of the Castra Praetoria • in Rome, the barracks constructed by the Praetorian Prefect Aelius Sejanus in AD 23. These barracks brought the Roman military cohorts and the Praetorian Guard together in one strategic location, ensuring rapid access to the city's centre while projecting Imperial authority.

NOTE: This book is a compilation of my previously published works: Roman Women Physicians, Roman Military Medicine from an Archaeological and Historical Perspective, and The Structure and Phases of the Castra Praetoria in Rome. Upgraded with illustrations and diagrams, it combines these topics smoothly. The written contents are the same, however, making it unnecessary to purchase both.
