So now, we know that the Roman have very good medical understanding thanks to the result of famous doctors, and also that a lot of specialities already live there.

But they also are abble to use complex methods.

Here is some of them: 1.The sucker After have produced in the sucker a flame, an empty is produced: we can suck up the skin and dilate the capillary puting the sucker on the back of the person (sick).

This is how roman doctors cured pneumonia, bronchitis, back or abdomen pains.

This process totally disappeared today. 2.

Forceps The Roman knew and used the forceps: they permit to put back pieces of bone breaked towing (tractant) them with the tongs.

It can also be use in order to extract piece of bones from someone body, or again… to grind bones or the foetus’ head ! 3.

Speculum To explore the body, the Roman used this instrument in order to spread efficiently (écarter efficacement) walls (parois). 4.

Anaesthetic The doctors use subtances like madragone suc, or atropine.

They’re extracted from mandragone or deadly nighshade.

What is really amazing is the knowledge of the doctors in health: even if they didn’t know the existence of microbe, they cleaned all their instruments after each use in a boiling water.
