Abstract

Caelius Aurelianus’ Latin translation, De morbis acutis et chronicis, of Soranus of Ephesus’ original Greek work is a work devoted to internal medicine. Nevertheless, there are some observations about ocular pathologies which reveal the level of the knowledge at that time about the eye and their use as elements of pathological semiology.
