How was illness prevented and treated in the past? Who was your doctor, and what were their credentials? On this tour, learn more about the kind of medical care you might have received in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Artifact highlights include Roman medical tools, amulets, and food (part of many medical recipes).
