The study of ancient medicine has been revolutionised over the last
half century and Vivian Nutton has been a leading figure. Here
distinguished colleagues and former students offer essays in his
honour, developing themes from his ground-breaking scholarship. The
book explores the diversity of the ancient medical marketplace.
From the Bronze Age to Classical Antiquity (with glimpses forward
to the Digital Age), from the cult of Artemis to the corpuscular
theories of Asclepiades of Bithynia, from the medicinal uses of
beavers to the cost of healthcare and wet-nursing, and from remedy
exchange to the medical repercussions of political assassination.
