The third edition of this magisterial account of medicine in the
Greek and Roman worlds, written by the foremost expert on the
subject, has been updated to incorporate the many new discoveries
made in the field over the last decade. This revised volume
includes discussions of several new or forgotten works by Galen and
his contemporaries, as well as of new archaeological material. RNA
analysis has expanded our understanding of disease in the ancient
world; the book explores the consequences of this for sufferers,
for example in creating disability. Nutton also expands upon the
treatment of pre-Galenic medicine in Greece and Rome. In addition,
subtitles and a chronology will make for easier student
consultation, and the bibliography is substantially revised and
updated, providing avenues for future student research. This third
edition of Ancient Medicine will remain the definitive textbook on
the subject for students of medicine in the classical world, and
the history of medicine and science more broadly, with much to
interest scholars in the field as well.
