Aulus Cornelius Celsus

    Aulus Cornelius Celsus was a Roman encyclopedist, renowned for his surviving medical work, De Medicina. Believed to be the sole extant portion of a much larger encyclopedia, De Medicina serves as a primary source for understanding diet, pharmacy, surgery, and related fields. His writings offer invaluable insights into the medical knowledge of the Roman world. Though much of his extensive work is lost, it is thought to have covered topics such as agriculture, law, rhetoric, and military arts.
