Opis

This book teaches students and scholars of Greco-Roman medical history how to use and critically assess archaeological materials.

Recenzje

'There is no other book which collects together the archaeological evidence relevant to the study of ancient medicine in this way against a critical methodological background; and it will do doubt find its way on to a good number of course bibliographies.' Rebecca Flemming, Social History of Medicine
