Here the Greek and Roman worlds are explored from the point of view of health and illness and we see not only the central importance of religion in both societies but also the pride of place accorded to rational thought, observation and the recording of symptoms. Key figures such as Asclepios, Hippocrates and Galen are introduced and the powerful legacy of Greek and Roman medicine is explored in this hardcover book packed with information and color photos. By Ian Dawson. Enchanted Lion. 64 pages.
