Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the basic features of ancient Roman medicine, whose echoes can be traced at the Croatian territory, too. As a starting point we have used the stories and the exhibits from the exhibition of the collection of Roman medical and pharmaceutical instruments of the Archaeological Museum in Zadar, which was held at the Archaeological Museum in Vid Narona near Metković (June - July 2010). The exhibits have been unearthed in Croatia as one more evidence of the interrelated medical influences on the European territory.
