Medicine in ancient Rome

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I believe that ancient Rome was one of the major foundational and fundamental times in human history that influenced the modern western world in many ways. Medicine is important to the way we understand, treat and learn about our own health, which is fundamental in modern life. I want to learn more about how we grew from ancient times into modern times.

Evaluate the article
In the contributors subsection of this article, it is briefly described that the four humors have an effect on how roman or greek physicians understood and treated ancient disease and illness. I think it would be beneficial to describe this more in the article and give a good basis to the reader as they interpret the rest of the article. In the article under the subsection of treatments we see uses and common practices for certain diseases. In the prior subsections we also see these detailed as well. I think it would be beneficial to put the table of treatments and medicines together to be more concise and fluid for the reader. I would like to see more in depth study of practices specifically curated and discovered by Roman physicians. They place a lot of emphasis on Greek knowledge being a forefront for Roman medicine, but as the reader I want to see more about the contributions of Rome in its own subsection.
