roman medical diet - theelichtje - 01-07-2009 Does anyone has a good (prefer english or dutch) source about the diet that was given to wounded soldiers and stuff? i'm also looking for the most used medical tools in the army. I tried to find Davies but couldn't find his books about roman medici in the army. thanks Re: roman medical diet - Martin Moser - 01-07-2009 Again I'd advise you to go through the (translated) works of Celsus and Galen. As for Davies, did you try university libraries - generally they allow access for non-students also. Re: roman medical diet - Medicus matt - 01-07-2009 Mark Grant's book "Galen On Food and Diet" is widely available. As for the most used tools, I'd have thought cauteries, clamps,scalpels, bone levers, retractors and spathomele...lots of spathomele. Re: roman medical diet - theelichtje - 01-07-2009 thanks especially for the book, i'll try to get it for Martin : thank you as well I looked and i couldn't found an avaible copy of it so i'm going to get it delivered from another university if that's possible ofc
