This volume explores the theme of diseases and pandemics from the perspective of the authors from classical antiquity. The broad selection of quotations on this theme satisfies the curiosity of all those who wish to explore the inexhaustible history of our past and is an extremely useful tool for historians of medicine. A precious collection that allows for the integration of information from different sources: written documents, works of art and archaeological finds, including organic remains, which are object of study in paleopathology. Particular attention is given to the wide variety of “fevers” and measures to contain epidemic diseases.
