Abstract
Latin epigraphy reveals the existence of twenty-six physicians in Roman Spain who worked in various spheres of activity and specialist areas. Thanks to the information provided by the texts of inscriptions we are able to study matters such as the socio-legal status typical of the persons who carried out this activity, possible improvements in the financial level they may have encountered and the type of displacement inherent in this profession. The greater concentration of inscriptions in ancient Emerita Augusta and Gades leads us to think that these cities may have been important medical centres during the early imperial period in Roman Spain.
