Medicine and the Law
under the Roman Empire:
Professionalism,
Intellectual Pursuit,
Entertainment,
and Socio-Political Competition
Ancient Roman
medicine and ancient Roman law have traditionally been viewed by scholars as
highly specialized and are, therefore, often studied in isolation. This
conference will juxtapose the two fields and place them, as a pair, back into
their wider ancient context. The first day of the conference will delimit this
wider context, probing the topics of competition, rhetoric, professionalism,
and literature in the period of the Roman Empire. The second day will highlight
the uniquely interesting affinities between the fields, which are nevertheless
squarely apiece with the trends of their time. The panels will explore the
rhetoric that imbued both the written and the performative aspects of each
field; their literatures, which, though technical in subject, nevertheless
performed similar tasks for their authors that the more traditional genres of
literature did; and the pragmatic, performative natures of both—in the law courts,
at the bedside, and in public fora for debate—a dimension of these two fields
that other literatures do not possess to the same degree. Finally, the day will
close with a consideration of ancient philosophy and the degree to which it
shares, and can illuminate, all these aspects of law and medicine. In short,
the conference aims to open a new window into our understanding of intellectual
life, writ large, in ancient Rome.
