Ancient Roman Medicine Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn how Roman medicine integrated empirical practices with religious beliefs and cultural traditions, creating a complex healthcare system influenced by earlier Greek and Egyptian knowledge. They will also explore the social dynamics of Roman healthcare, examining how wealth, gender, and social status affected access to medical treatments. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
