Anyone have any information on hospital arrangements on the march or at marching camps? Any suggestion anywhere on field dressing stations?....I know about the capsarii and the picture on Trajan's Column.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Hello<br>
<br>
I have found that The Treatment of War Wounds in Graeco-Roman Antiquity by Chrsitine F Salazar is a great book on the subject.<br>
<br>
Sorry I can't say more on it at the moment I am at work, I will try and find some quotes from it for you on the subject, but you can order the book here ... www.oxbowbooks.com/bookin...?&ID=24414<br>
<br>
Hope this helps in some way.<br>

See this review of Salazar's book for an impression of the contents.<br>
<br>
Another publication of interest:<br>
<br>
Davies, R.W., 'The Roman military medical service' in: <i> Saalburg Jahrbuch</i> 27 (1970), 84-104 (also in <i> Service of the Roman army</i>).<br>
