For further reading, we recommend The Prince of Medicine: Galen in the Roman Empire (2013) by Susan P. Mattern and Galen: A Thinking Doctor in Imperial Rome (2020) by Vivian Nutton. The meticulous research of these two authors was invaluable to the production of this exhibition.
Many thanks to our colleagues at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (German Archaeological Institute), especially Dr. Felix Pirson, as well as colleagues at the Österreichisches Archäologisches Institut (Austrian Archaeological Institute), for sharing their expertise and excavation photography.
