Sydney,

This page looks pretty good. I didn't catch any grammatical or spelling errors, and while I didn't go through and fact-check everything, it seems accurate from what I know of Roman history.

In the introduction especially, you get sort of repetitive. You use the phrase "public health" in about four sentences out of five, and you use the word "diseases" multiple times in the same sentence. You might want to work on cleaning things up in that respect.

In the section on Greek influences, it might be interesting to talk a little bit about how the caduceus came to be associated with medicine.

Are there any specific medicinal procedures that you found? It might also be interesting to write a small section about different types of surgeries or medicines that were commonly used by the Romans.

Obviously, I don't know what your original editing plan was, so I don't know how much (or how little) you stuck to it, but all in all, the page seems good.
