About The Book
In Illness, Disease and Death in Ancient Rome, Valerie M. Hope explores how people in the ancient world understood and dealt with illness and death, particularly in urban settings. Drawing on the latest research in archaeology, ancient history, and the history of medicine, this volume provides a fascinating look into the ways Roman society confronted health crises and the inevitable fate of death. From examining medical practices to societal attitudes, the book offers insight into the role of illness in the public and private lives of the Romans, shedding light on both the medical understanding and the social consequences of disease in the ancient urban environment. This thought-provoking work contributes to a deeper understanding of the ancient world’s medical practices and cultural attitudes toward mortality.
