    Product description Review “The editor as well as Caroline Wazer are to be congratulated on making an important point regarding the evidence, and models, for studying ancient medicine. (…) In sum the volume makes a cogent case for further explorations in the emerging field of popular medicine in the classical world, and for entrusting such studies not only to professional historians of “learned” medicine, but also to experts in other bodies of evidence, and other methods, including especially social historians like W. V. Harris himself.”Kai Brodersen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.09.25 About the Author W. V. Harris (D.Phil. Oxford) is Shepherd Professor of History at Columbia University.
