      As much as anything else, a dedicated medical corps did ensure the legion's successes...but where did that come from?
      Maybe it's about time for a look at Roman ideas of public health and how they all fit together?

    Reminds me of the conversation in _I, Clavdivs_ between Claudius and his Greek doctor.

      Reminds me of the great doctor of Marcus Aurelius' age, Galen -- the most significant ancient doctor and one whose ideas are still followed in some places -- who began as his professional career as doctor to the gladiators of the High Priest of Asia in Pergamon. He claimed that five men died under his care as opposed to sixty under his predecessor...

    I also think there needs to be an emphasis on the sheer amount of soldiers who would die from non-combat related causes and secondary causes compared to actual deaths on the battlefield. Even as late as the Crimean War & Napoleonic Wars, having almost 10x the amounts of deaths via non-combat was considered somewhat normal, despite how much more advanced their medicine got. Penicillin/Antibiotics (and cleaner, non-bacterial filled water) were the best implements of warfare known to human history.

    • @Teverell

      The Royal Navy did pretty well for their survival rates for amputation, mostly because of the speed the wounded sailors got to the surgeon who was generally only a few decks below. They worked on a first come, first served basis, which left Admiral Nelson waiting for a while for the surgeon's attention after he was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar.
      ...It still wasn't a _good_ survival rate, certainly by modern standards.

    Fantastic! I have been requesting and waiting for good documentaries about ancient military medicine for years! And while I see myself as quite knowledgeable of history and teach history, I must admit that I knew extremly little about ancient military medicine and even less about how it was organized.
    This documentary gave me a thought. What to do with these great military hospitals during very peaceful areas with few soldiers who got wounded in combat, life in the field or from sickness?
    My guess is that many civilians in the Roman provinces could get medical care if they paid fo it, or perhaps even for free as a gesture of good will? If so, that would be another great incentive to appreciate Roman dominance in the long term. Also, these hospitals would naturally have served as medical schools for civilians in occupied provinces who wished to improve their knowledge in medical care.
    Very important and interesting video. Keep up the good work.

      It was both a practical choice and a religious inspired one.
      Why waste manpower and supplies on a soldier with a low chance of recovery,who most probably,if he survive,will never fight again,when you can use them to save other wounded that have a higher chance of survival and rejoining the army?
      Also,they believed that the fate of men were in the hands of the goods,who will decide if that soldier survive or die.

    It's amazing that the military medical system of 2000 years ago really... hasn't changed all that much in 2000 years. They had it figured out.
    I mean yes, obviously the two aren't equivalent, but having field medics on site to rush wounded men to a field hospital for certified specialist treatment, and then transferring them to the regional hospital (with plumbing, record-keeping, and what's basically a pharmacy) for long term palliative care is simply incredible.
    All of this done either by hand or horseback, with records kept on paper.

    80 years old and still serving ? That's something else.
    I was in Iraq 03-04 when I met a battalion surgeon who , a long time ago, was once a line medic in the Korean War.
    Im only half way through but i hope to hear how the soldiers protected their medics.
    Because my boys and I did. Believe you me, if you dislike happiness, and want to ensure that you have the worst day ever , then might I recommend to mess with an infantry man's medic.

    Now this is definitely interesting. in the next episode do you go into what they could actually treat? Like in ancient times, what could an eye doctor do 🤓? How would in Roman times a broken or shattered bone be treated? How might an infection like bronchitis or pneumonia be treated? They didn't have antibiotics 🙂.

    I think you can say that the Roman medical care was not only exceptional for it's time - but also (in Western Europe) for the next 1.000-1.500 years. I mean if you look to the Medieval, Early Modern and even later times up to the 17./18. century...

    Very interesting! I'll have to look at the sources you mention in the description (thanks for that!). Just two pronunciation checks:
    _clerestory_ is pronounced as 'clear storey';
    _chiurgus_ should be pronounced /ki.'ur.gus/, not with an English /ch/ sound (it's a Greek loanword into Latin and that 'ch' is pronounced like the 'ch' in Greek words in English like 'chiasmus' or 'chaos').

    If army doctors were offered the same retirement benefits as the regular solidery, you have to wonder how sought-after they were for colonies and settlements manned by those same soldiers. And as for those high-ranking doctors who were technically centurions, how many of THEM were sought after to become recalls, or "evocati," after their enlistment was up?

    One of the most fascinating facts in this piece is that the Romans were sterilising their medical instruments and taking measures to combat or avoid sepsis. I didn't think that came about in Western medicine until the mid- to late-19th century.
