SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Patients and Healers in the High Roman Empire offers a fascinating holistic look at the practice of ancient Roman medicine. Ido Israelowich presents three richly detailed case studies -- one focusing on the home and reproduction; another on the army; the last on medical tourism -- from the point of view of those on both sides of the patient-healer divide. He explains in depth how people in the classical world became aware of their ailments, what they believed caused particular illnesses, and why they turned to certain healers -- root cutters, gymnastic trainers, dream interpreters, pharmacologists and priests -- or sought medical care in specific places such as temples, bath houses, and city centers"--
