SUMMARY:Medicine & Health Care in Roman Britain
DESCRIPTION:Medicine & Health Care in Roman Britain \nDr Nick Summerton \nWednesday\, 19th October\, 2022. Senhouse Roman Museum\, Maryport \n9.30am – 5.00pm \nTickets: £25 can be booked by contacting the museum – 01900 816168 \nFinding ways to cope with illnesses and injuries have been constant concerns throughout all human history. Written records together with archaeological finds from sites such as Alauna (Maryport) have painted a vivid picture of the medical care provided to both the military and the civilian inhabitants of Roman Britain. \nBut\, by rigidly adopting a 21st Century view\, it is all-to-easy to dismiss or denigrate aspects of ancient medicine and yet to overplay others significantly. \n\nDid any of the medical or surgical treatments being offered by the Greco-Roman healers work?\nShould we dismiss dream therapy or pilgrimages to healing sites – such as Bath or Coventina`s Well – as gimmicks?\nIn the Roman world what was the balance between prevention\, treatment and hospital care?\nAre aqueducts\, drains and bathhouses really a reflection of the Roman concern for the public health?\nCan modern doctors learn anything from their Roman forbears about looking\, listening and speaking with patients?\n\nThese questions – and more besides – will be explored using practical sessions\, interactive discussions\, lectures\, in addition to an examination of key finds from Alauna (Maryport) and the surrounding area. \n
