guy 157 Report post Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Good podcast on ancient Roman eye care: Quote Traditionally believed to be ‘windows to the soul’, the health of eyes in the Roman Empire could be compromised by lamentable hygiene practices, unclean public baths and dusty roads. But without modern medical remedies, how did the Romans look after their sight? Dr Nick Summerton is a practicing doctor and author of ‘Greco-Roman Medicine and What it Can Teach Us Today’, published by Pen & Sword. He came back on the show to discuss eye care in Ancient Rome: the tools, practitioners and processes. https://play.acast.com/s/the-ancients/windowstothesoul-romaneyecare Edited October 14, 2021 by guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
