Aurelius (physician)

Last updated

Aurelius was a physician of ancient Rome. His time is unknown, but he must have lived in or before the 2nd century CE, as one of his prescriptions is quoted by the 2nd-century medical annalist Galen. [1]

He is probably the same person who is mentioned by 19th century classical scholar John Cramer in his work Anecdota graeca. [2]
