While scholars have intensively studied both the rationalistic medicine that is conveyed in the canonical texts and also the 'temple medicine' of Asclepius and other gods, they have largely neglected to study popular medicine in a systematic fashion. This volume, which for the most part is the fruit of a conference held at Columbia University in 2014, aims to help correct this imbalance. Using the full range of available evidence - archaeological, epigraphical and papyrological, as well as the literary texts - the international cast of contributors hopes to show what real people in Antiquity actually did when they tried to avert illness or cure it. 650 0 $a Medicine, Greek and Roman $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Medicine, Ancient $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Medicine, Popular $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Public health $z Rome $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Public health $z Greece $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Harris, William V. $q (William Vernon), $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Popular medicine in Graeco-Roman antiquity $d Leiden : Brill, [2016] $z 9789004326040 $w (DLC) 2016040119 830 0 $a Columbia studies in the classical tradition ; $v v. 42. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602021326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD4627CAA80111E7B9D4614397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
