The Treatment of War Wounds in Antiquity

[Tarbicus]

The Treatment of War Wounds in Graeco-Roman Antiquity
by Christine F. Salazar.

Looks interesting - anyone read it? Madoc? :wink:

I've read it and it is extremely interesting. It's not light reading by any means, but it's indispensable to anyone delving into the realities of the effects of ancient combat.

Thanks Bill, looks like I'll need to track a copy down.

Useful review at Bryn Mawr Classical Review (so you can decide if you want to put it on your Christmas wish list!)

Thanks Kate. I fully expect Santa to drop it down the chimney in a few weeks, even if it's out of print - he's Santa
