This looks like a pretty good resource for women physicians in the Roman world. I don't know of examples of female doctors in a military role, but there is the example of Paterna at Vindolanda, who brings the wife of the prefect some medical remedies - perhaps more of a pharmacist role if anything. Still, you do get an excuse to show off Roman eye salves etc. if you go with a role like that!
