Description
Galen was born in 130 A.D, in the Greek city of Pergamon in Asia Minor (now Turkey). His writings and teaching were marked by brilliant observation, wise therapeutic application as well as intolerable error. Much of his professional life; however, was centered in Rome even as physician to the Roman emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Galen was the last important pillar of medicine in the millennium of Greek domination of the medical world.
