Identifying the connection between Roman conceptions of ‘Pure Air’ and physical and mental health in Pompeian gardens ( c .150 BC–AD 79)
Different genres of Roman literature commented on the relationship between the condition of the environment and physical and mental health. They often refer to clear, pure, or good air as a beneficial aspect of the environment. Yet, unlike fetid air, they provide few descriptions of what constituted healthy air quality. Moreover, aside from pointing out the association between the environment and bodily condition, the writers also did not explain…
Viewing Health
In this paper, it is argued that there existed a Greco-Roman perception that the views of the surrounding landscapes from Greek healing sanctuaries contributed towards the heath of the pilgrim who visited the sites. Although much has been written about the religious aspects of the healing event in Asclepia, the physical environment of the sanctuaries has yet to be examined. It is, nonetheless significant, allowing us a further understanding of th…
J. C. McKeown, A Cabinet of Ancient Medical Curiosities
A comment found in the Bibliotheca, a work by the ninth-century Patriarch of Constantinople, Photius, about Galen’s volume on Medical Schools, is printed on the back slipcover of McKeown’s reference collection on Greco-Roman medicine. It states that Galen’s work ‘should certainly be read before all other medical texts ... even though the author tends to overload his writings with irrelevancies and digressions’. My assessment of McKeown’s work cor…
The Archaeology of Medicine in the Greco-Roman World
This book teaches students and scholars of Greco-Roman medical history how to use and critically assess archaeological materials. Ancient medicine is a subject dominated by textual sources, yet there is a wealth of archaeological remains that can be used to broaden our understanding of medicine in the past. In order to use the information properly, this book explains how to ask questions of an archaeological nature, how to access different types …
Hygiene, Greece and Rome
The Greek and Latin words for hygiene, hygieinos and salubris respectively, can be translated to mean health‐giving and a healthy state of conditions.
Deafness
Little extant material survives on the subject of deafness in the ancient world.
Pregnancy
The existing Greco‐Roman literature on pregnancy is limited in comparison to related subjects, such as embryology, procreation, and childbirth.
Medicine and Space
The papers in this volume question how perceptions of space influenced understandings of the body and its functions, illness and treatment, and the surrounding natural and built environments in relation to health in the classical and medieval periods
Collyrium Stamps
Collyrium stamps, objects used to mark eye medicines, are more commonly found in Gaul than any other Roman province. Since they appear after Roman occupation, it is believed they evince a spread of Roman medicine, but this idea is not well-supported. Through a detailed study of the collyrium stamps it is apparent that the stamps took on other functions beyond marking remedies. They were used as amulets and votive offerings, signified by the fact …
Roman Medical Instruments
Roman medical tools have traditionally been defined by scholars in accordance with what has been written about them in the classical medical tests. Yet, other possible functions, as well as meanings and feelings related to them that have not been recorded in the literature, have never been explored. It is important to attempt to learn how people understood medical instruments because it can give us a greater insight into feelings about medical ca…
A Brief Comment on the TRAC Session Dedicated to the Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Roman Women
This paper explores the importance of taking an interdisciplinary approach to the study of women in the ancient world
Preface and Editors’ Preface
Soranus and the Pompeii Speculum
The speculum is a fascinating Roman surgical artefact because its precision design shows an \nacute awareness of the anatomy of the female body (Figure la). The priapiscus of the Roman \nspecula is rounded, not pointed, so as not to rub or cut the cervix. Archigenes of Apamea, as \nrecorded in Paul of Aegina (6.73), explains its use and states that before the instrument was \nplaced in the vagina, the woman was measured to ensure the priapiscus w…
