British Archaeological Reports BAR International Series 1286; 204 pages; This detailed study of military medical practice on the western frontiers of the Roman army aims to discover whether legionary and auxilliary units were treated differently, whether local civilians were also treated by military doctors and if the soldier's location impacted on his medical treatment. At the heart of this wide-ranging study is an analysis of medical instruments discovered at frontier sites, such as Housesteads, Wallsend, Carnuntum, Caerleon, Xanten, Mainz and many others. Patricia Anne Baker examines the scientific function and production of these implements whilst also discussing what they (and written sources) reveal about Roman attitudes towards illness and the nature of physical examinations and medical care, especially among soldiers at the edges of Roman influence. The impact on local populations of the Roman presence and living on a frontier is also considered. Includes a catalogue of forts, sites and implements.
1 small chip to DJ now protected in mylar. Former owner's name on ffep. ; Histories of Roman Imperialism generally ignore the course of wars, the strategies of commanders, and the fortunes of the contending peoples. Similarly, they give little thought to the size of military forces available to Rome when its commitments were outstripping its resources. Furthermore, for more than thirty years, studies of the later Republic have focused on the European zone, generally neglecting Roman policy and expansion eastward. In this book, A. N. Sherwin-White redresses the balance. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 352 pages
