Plaster replica of a Roman bust shows Marcus Modius Asiaticus, Roman, 2nd century AD
Marcus Modius Asiaticus was a Roman physician living sometime during the first century CE. He followed the so-called ‘Methodist’ theory of disease put forward by the Greek physician Asclepiades of Bythnia (d. 91 BCE). Classical ‘Methodists’ believed that sickness was due either to excessive ‘constriction’ or excessive ‘flux’. They used gentle hygienic treatment, especially exercise and baths. This bust is copy of an original from the 100s.
