Medical Definition of Roman world
1. A historical and cultural entity dispersed across a wide geographical area under the political domination and influence of ancient rome, bringing to the conquered people the roman civilization and culture from 753 b.c. To the beginning of the imperial rule under augustus in 27 b.c. The early city built on seven hills grew to conquer sicily, sardinia, carthage, gaul, spain, britain, greece, asia minor, etc., and extended ultimately from mesopotamia to the atlantic. Roman medicine was almost entirely in greek hands, but rome, with its superior water system, remains a model of sanitation and hygiene. (12 Dec 1998)
