Medicine and Hygiene

Ancient medicine and hygiene

In Greek mythology, Asclepius and his daughter Hygieia are considered the founders of modern medicine. It is surprising to see the means and almost modern-looking instruments with which even serious injuries and illnesses could be treated in antiquity. Nevertheless, the belief in spirits, gods and magic still played an important role in antiquity.

In addition to medicine, body care with oils, tinctures and ointments was an important aspect of daily life, which can also be traced archaeologically through interesting utensils and vessels. Beauty care and body cult were not unknown concepts in antiquity either.
