Abstract

During ancient battles, thousands of soldiers suffered minor and major flesh wounds. The Romans forged a military medical system that surpassed the medical systems of most of the enemies that the Romans fought. Roman physicians treated flesh wounds by irrigation, antiseptics, herbal drugs, surgery, and the use of bandages and moisturizing dressings. The Roman army innovated the use of medical corpsmen and field hospitals to increase the speed of treatment. This enhanced treatment acted as a force multiplier to give the Romans an advantage in war.
