Dr Quintus: Medicine in Roman Britain

Join Dr Quintus at Chedworth Roman Villa as part of the Festival of Archaeology to learn how medicine worked in Roman times. Using examples from the natural world, he will explain how plants and simple ingredients were used to treat common problems.

Dr Quintus will also explore the balance between practical treatments and traditional beliefs, showing how Roman doctors combined observation with established knowledge. This is a practical look at how people understood health and illness, and the role nature played in everyday life. Discover how these approaches fitted into daily life in Roman Britain, and how some ideas about natural remedies have continued through to the present day.

Meet Flora: Plants, Grains and Daily Life
