Medicina Antiqua (ancient medicine) is a website hosted by the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL and intended as a central resource for researchers in the history of ancient medicine. The site contains: online transcripts of English translations of several works by Galen, with links to a few other transcript sites; a small collection of short analytical essays (topics covered include poisons, Hippocrates, dreams, and Galen); and a few online bibliographies, including an overview of works on Greek and Roman medicine aimed at graduate students, plus external links to other bibliographic resources. Also present are information on relevant conferences and publications throughout the world, and details of both the associated email list Medant and the Society for Ancient Medicine.
