Roman medical service on the battlefield.
#1
An interesting thread on our FB site of late, about how the Roman army treated their wounded and dead (thanks to Stephen Hammel and David Harthen):

Here is a link to a blog post from Malton Museum, North Yorkshire provides some information about Roman Army Medical Services in Britain:
The Roman army medical Service

With regards to the Romans there was a Greek doctor who allegedly served with the Roman army at the time of Nero by the name of Pedanius Dioscorides, he wrote 'De materia medica' ('On Medical Material') in his native Greek as Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς in five books, which *might* mention aloe vera. An English translation (available as free downloads) can be found here:
De Materia Medica
