Arheološka građa koju vežemo za rimsku medicinu na prostorima nekadašnje provincije
Dalmacije relativno je bogata nalazima. U ovom radu nastojala sam sistematizirati tu vrstu
nalaza. Tijekom rada osvrnula sam se i na same početke grčke medicine, koja je ukorijenila
medicinu kakvu su poznavali Rimljani. Oni su učinili izvanredni pomak na području javne
zdravstvene službe gradnjom termi i cisterna. Nadalje, nezaobilazno je spomenuti religijski
aspekt koji je u ono doba bio od iznimnog značaja bolesnim i ozlijeđenim osobama.
Autohtona ilirska medicina uglavnom je temeljena na praznovjernom i magijskom liječenju,
ali imali su i znanje o ljekovitim biljkama. Dolaskom rimske vojske upoznali su modernije
načine liječenja, a sudeći po nalazima, relativno brzo su ih i usvojili.Archaeological material, that we associate with the Roman medicine in the former province
of Dalmatia, is relatively rich with findings. In my work I tried to systematize this kind of
findings. During the research, I also mentioned the very beginnings of Greek medicine, which
are rooted medicine as the Romans knew. They have done an remarkable step in the field of
public health services by building spas and cisterns. Furthermore, it is unavoidable to
mention the religious aspect , which at that time was of great importance to sick and injured
persons. Indigenous Illyrian medicine is mainly based on the superstitious and magical
treatment, but they also had the knowledge of medicinal plants. With the arrival of the
Roman army they met with the modern methods of treatment , and judging by the findings
they adopted them relatively quickly
